"We played really well today but there is a reason this team is No. 19 in the country," commented WMU head coach Ryan Tomlinson. "We played great in doubles to start the match off and had some big chances to win the point. They came out and took it to us in singles but we were able to come back in second sets and make them work. We will learn from this and come our ready to go tomorrow."
