FROM THE SOURCE
Head Coach Bobby Pennington
"That ranks high up there as being one of my most disappointing and frustrating matches in my 11 years. We came out flat in doubles and singles went down to the wire. To lose four matches in three sets, three of those where we won the first set, is simply brutal. I thought we matched up well 1 thru 6 and Lehigh played the big points better. We were points away from winning that 4-3.  The guys have a gut check to bounce back for Lafayette tomorrow."
