Barlow's Bits
"Today was a close loss to a good team. We had our opportunities at No. 2 and No. 3 doubles to take the match but couldn't quite capitalize. After tough losses yesterday, it was good to see Abdoul and Matt come out in dominating fashion in singles today. We are looking forward to a two-week break to work on a few things and a couple matches at home should get us going again." – Assistant Coach
Matthew Barlow
