BOISE, IDAHO. – The Kennesaw State men's tennis team defeated Montana State 5-2 at the Boas Indoor Tennis Center on Saturday.
"We lost a tight 4-3 match to one of the best teams in the country about 13 hours before this match started, so a quick response was important this morning, associate head coach
Simon Pritchard said. A couple injuries forced a few different guys to step into the lineup for us and made today a really gritty win for the Owls. This weekend has shown us that we have the talent to compete with any team in the nation, but that we also have the grit to get it done when we need to. Excited to get back on the court against UNCW and NJIT next week."
