Thoughts from Coach Carlisle
"Unfortunately we just did not have it today.  Menlo played a great match and it did not seem like there was much we could do to rattle them.  This was a tough year, we played a very challenging schedule and even though we competed really well in a lot of matches we just could never get over the hump.  I am really proud of the guys for all the hard work they put in this year and I am excited to see how our younger guys will progress moving forward. I want to say a special thank you to Jonas Wand; he is as special a person as anyone I have ever coached and he leaves behind a tremendous legacy at ACU.  He helped put ACU tennis back on the map and helped build our culture into what it is today.  We will miss him a lot, but he will forever be a part of this program."
