// COACH TOTH ON THE BEARCATS
"It was a nice win, but we're going to have to pick it up as we head down the stretch. We got five today, but Northern Kentucky out competed us on quite a few courts. That's alarming, but that's to their credit. They came in here ready to play. If a couple things go their way, they might have gotten out of here with a win. We should know by now what it takes and we want to be heading in the right direction heading in to the end of the season and the conference tournament."
// UP NEXT
The Bearcats will head on the road for their final two matches of the season on April 14th and 15th. The Bearcats will face the ECU Pirates on the 14th and then the UConn Huskies on the 15th. Both matches are scheduled the begin at 1 p.m. and will be played in Storrs, CT.
