Coach's Thoughts
"I thought we played okay. You have to come to compete better in doubles and come out stronger in singles," Bruin head coach
Jeff Cero said, "I think there were too many scenarios playing from behind we dug ourselves into with not taking care of serve. If we want to compete and win against these teams, it's not gonna happen without winning big points and closing out important games. We're looking forward to finishing our trip against a strong program in Montana."
What It Means
Fox drops to a 5-8 record overall, while the Dons are now 2-9 on the season.
What Comes Next
The Bruins play one final dual in Boise, Idaho tomorrow against Montana University. The match is set to start at 8:00 AM.
