Thoughts From Coach Carlisle
"Another heartbreaker today.  That has been the story of our year so far, we have been close, but just cannot quite get over the hump in these tight matches.  I am proud of the ladies for battling back after a rough showing in doubles.  Hopefully we will see this team again in a couple weeks in Surprise."
