Coach Macias said: "We have been playing good tennis but we ran into a better team today. The scores did not look pretty but some of our girls played their best tennis. When you come to Edwardsville you know that it's going to be a tough match, but our girls fought hard and kept grinding. The players are starting to figure out a few things and I am proud of the way they played. Conference matters more than anything else and we are 0-1, so we need to push ourselves and keep getting better every day."
