Coach Wiseman said, “I’m proud of the effort our team gave this weekend.  It was a tough stretch of matches, but they gave maximum effort and competed hard.  The fact that we only won one of four matches isn’t indicative of how close any of the matches were or the effort given.  Considering that we were playing without one of our top six player (Andjela Brguljan out with a concussion), I think we did very well.  I know that going forward we are in good shape once we get back to full strength.”

 

The Aces will be at home next weekend when they host UT Martin and Eastern Illinois at Tri-State Athletic Club.
