Box Score

KSU Director of Tennis Matt Emery on the Match
"Today was an invaluable experience for our team. ODU has a very strong team, especially indoors, and they didn't blink today, which is what really good teams do.  We put ourselves in position to win several matches, and they just didn't go our way. As always, I couldn't be more proud of this group. We are looking to finishing this spring break trip strong on Sunday and then prepare for the ASUN opener next weekend."
 
How it Happened
The Owls lost the doubles point for only the third time this season. Old Dominion jumped out to an early 1-0 lead and did not let up in singles play. The Monarchs swept the singles points and posted their second consecutive 7-0 victory.
 
Next Up
KSU is back in action this Sunday, Mar. 13 as it travels to North Carolina to face off with Wingate University. Match time is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. at the Wingate Tennis Complex.
