The Aggies earned their last game with a break of serve to take the match to 3-3 when the Tigers ran off the last three games to win the match 6-2, 6-3. The match ends the fall competition for the women's tennis team. Goessel and Uspenskaia finish the fall with a 13-1 record together with four wins over teams nationally ranked last season. "It's tough to finish the Cup with a loss today. I look at these two as one of the best teams in the country and they have proved that all fall long, but came up a bit short today. Even with the loss, its a great experience for us to wrap up the fall and gives us an idea where we need to improve going into the spring. These two have had a great fall and looking forward to seeing growth from this weekend going into the spring" states Coach Josh Cobble after the match.
