In red doubles play, Aziza Aba Butain had a successful first round as she advanced to round two in the main draw with two separate doubles teams. She and Sammie Moreton received a bye in their first round but fell to ACU 8-4. She then teamed up with Kelly Morgan from Air Force to obtain a win against ACU 8-4.
Mean Green head coach Sujay Lama is proud of his team’s performance but understands there is a lot of work to be done in building the program.
“From the standpoint of performance, it was a disappointing weekend.” Lama said. “We have been taking a lot of steps forward everyday since the beginning of the fall season. Expectations were a bit higher because we did so well at the Mean Green Invitational last weekend. In building a program, at times, we take a step back, but as long as we know we need to work hard and realize that it may not be easy, we will begin to take a step in the right direction.”
