"We played a really tough team today. The girls battled for everything," said Head Coach Babar Akbar. "Maryland was dominant in the doubles. I think there was a couple games that were close, but they just played better big points. At the 1 and 2 singles posistion they dominated but we were competing on the other courts. Another tough team on the road so we are looking forward to starting our Big Sky campaign at home next weekend. Hopefully we can take all this experience and start working towards our conference matches."
