From Coach Dougherty:
"I'm really proud of how the team competed today. We had an epic travel day yesterday with a delay so long at O'Hare that we went out to Northwestern to practice. We came out a little flat in doubles and just had a great response in singles across the board grabbing 6 first sets. Time to to regroup, rest up, and take on a good Iowa team this Sunday."
Looking Ahead
The Tennis Terps will travel to Iowa on Sunday, April 16 for a noon match.
