Thoughts From Coach Carlisle
"The final score definitely does not tell the whole story today.  We had a lot of chances including a couple tight losses in doubles. If we get that point it easily could have been a very different match, but we put up a great fight in singles. I am really proud of the effort and fight today and even in a loss there were a lot of positives to take from this match."

On Saturday, the Firestorm will play their third match in as many days as they host Utah Tech at 2:00 pm.
