QUOTABLE
"Today is a little disappointing, especially after winning the last two matches. We thought we had some good momentum going. We got off to a really good start in doubles, but all of a sudden momentum shifted. We got conservative and played too safe. It looked like we were cruising again in singles, but momentum shifted again. Our guys got tight and everything shifted. Give Tulane credit, they were very aggressive. That doubles point really hurt us. We were in full control and we gave it away. I'm disappointed about today, but we've got to get some time off and get back at it on our spring break trip in Florida."
