QUOTABLE:
Jaco Keyser, Head Coach:

• "Sports can be cruel sometimes, and today we felt the sting of it. Great bounce-back early in singles after an awful doubles point. Had the match on our racquets with six team match points, but unfortunately fell victim to an incredible comeback by the opposing team for a gut-wrenching loss. One of those days that hopefully toughens us up for later in the season."

UP NEXT:
The Jaguars will face in-state rival Troy on the road at 2 p.m. CDT on March 29 at Lunsford Tennis Compex in Troy, Ala.
