From Coach Dougherty
"This was a great bounce back win today for the team. We knew it was going to be a battle and across the board we showed up and competed really well. The last players on handled the transition from outdoors to indoors with the storm coming in with great poise and found the calm in the chaos and executed. Really happy for the team to come out on top today and we're looking to send our seniors out the right way tomorrow against a very good Ohio State team."

Looking Ahead

The Tennis Terps will host Ohio State on Sunday April 23 for the last regular season match of the season. The team will honor its 3 seniors at 11:40 A.M. before the match.
