Quotable
Head coach Ashley Fisher on today's loss...
"Credit to Middle Tennessee State for outplaying us. They are well-coached and play aggressive tennis. We need to do a better job of getting our guys comfortable in doubles and then playing offensively in singles. It's a rough way to end this trip as our guys fought hard to get back into this match. The silver lining is there is always another opportunity around the corner."
 
Up Next
The Bulls travel back to Tampa for their final matches at home, starting with No. 23 Tulane on Friday, April 2 at 1:30 p.m.
