HEAD COACH BIANCA TURATI
“It was the same situation as Friday. We did all we could with the players we had available. The girls competed hard and played some good tennis, both in doubles and singles. I was impressed by how Emelie fought back in the second set, showing she can play at a very good level. I am happy with everyone’s performance. Now it is time to rest a little, get everybody healthy, and have some good practice sessions to prepare for the next weekend of competition at home.”
UP NEXT
The Tigers will return home for a Friday match against Texas A&M on April 5, followed by a doubleheader on Senior Day versus LSU and Saint Louis on Sunday, April 7.
