This concludes the Fall slate for the Lions as they look forward to their spring season 

"While our doubles wasn't where I wanted it to be, our singles really stepped up.  We played a lot of third set match tiebreakers and competed very hard in each of them.  It was a really good way to end our Fall season and showed our team where we are and where we need to be going into the Spring season.  We also were the only Division II school at the tournament and we showed that we are as competitive as anyone in the event." said Coach Chad Berryhill.
