"That was an incredible college tennis match," head coach Sean McInerney said. "Wyoming is so tough, especially at home, and we played a smart and aggressive match which kept us in the mix all day. I was proud of the fight. We need to clean up a few areas and move on. We are looking forward to being home for the next three matches."
