Coach's Thoughts on the Match
"It was a tough match where we could have scored at least 3-4 points, but we lost on some key moments of the match," Head Coach Michael Misiti stated. "Overall it was a better performance, and a good warmup for the match tomorrow against St. Michael's. We need to do better in doubles and cut out unforced errors, as we are making too many individual mistakes. This is something we have been working on and are at least seeing progress on."

Up Next
The Panthers return to action tomorrow, Saturday, March 8, when they travel to Colchester, Vt. to take on the Purple Knights of St. Michael's College in a 10 am Northeast-10 Conference match.
