CATCHING UP WITH COACH BARTLETT:
"Nice end to the weekend by defeating ACU. We had good matches starting with the doubles point that we won, starting with strong showings pretty much up and down the line as we won five of the six singles matches. Nice performances from
Azaria Hayes and
Rita Colyer inserted into the lineup today and it was an overall good match for our team."
UP NEXT:
The Dons now will return to Northern California for their next match against the Cal Poly Mustangs (1-3) in San Luis Obispo on Sunday, Feb. 19 at 2:30 p.m. from the Mustang Tennis Complex.
