Quoting Head Coach Mark Beyers…
"Tough start this morning against Miami. They have a very good team, and were simply better than we were after just a few days of practice. We bounced back a little in the afternoon, taking three out of five singles versus The University of Texas. It is still very early and these types of matches give us a lot of insight into what we need to work on with the different players over the next few weeks. Hopefully we'll be able to finish strong tomorrow."
