Thoughts from Coach Carlisle
"This was a great match for us, even in a loss. We've really struggled with Colorado Mesa historically, but today we gave them all they wanted in singles and pulled out a couple big wins. I'm really proud of the way we competed in this match, especially not being at full strength, but once we get fully healthy I think we'll be a very dangerous team." 


Up Next
On March 3, the Lady Firestorm will head to Lima, OH for the UNOH Spring Invite and are scheduled to play the University of Northwestern Ohio. The time will later be determined.
