Coach
Doug Corbett's Comments:
" I sound like a broken record, but we knew that the doubles point would be crucial for our chances today. Alyssa and Abby did their thing at #2, but we didn't quite get it done overall. It's a team effort, and it never falls on any one player. The positives are that Calli gave a great effort in singles against a strong opponent and we will learn a lot from today's match."
The Scots fall to 5-4 on the season and 1-2 in conference action. LaGrange is next on deck for Maryville April 5 at home.
