Box Score The Chicago State women's tennis team dropped a 5-2 decision to Youngstown State at the YSU Indoor Tennis Center in Youngstown, Ohio. The Cougars dropped the doubles point with wins at No. 2 and 3 doubles, leaving the match at No. 1 unfinished, tied 3-3. In singles, Chicago State picked up victories at No. 2 and 5 but lost four matches as the Penguins earned the win.
"It has to be a different level of focus when you play the conference champs," head coach
Jack Barton said. "I think we were in and out. We were there and then we weren't there. We have to be completely present. The margin of error is very small against a team like this. We discussed this prior to coming and we didn't not come with our heads in the game. We just have to learn from today because it won't get easier tomorrow."
Compete results listed below.
The Cougars will be back on the court and continue Horizon League play tomorrow, Saturday, April 8 at 9 a.m. at Cleveland State.
