MSU falls in 5-2 match
"Our guys fought hard and did the right things today," said Bobcat coach Trey Morris. "Sadly it just didn't quite fall our way."
The Grizzlies won the doubles point and captured the win at No. 2 singles to take a 2-0 lead, but MSU's Nejc Sitar (6-3, 6-3 at No. 3) and Brad Buckland (7-6, 7-5 at No. 4) earned wins to tie the score. UM won the remaining three singles matches to claim the victory.
