// COACH TOTH ON THE BEARCATS
"Our girls put up a good fight against a really good Kansas St squad. I don't think the outcome had anything to do with Kansas St out-competing us which is a positive for our team. Our energy level was very good the entire afternoon. Kansas St simply played better tennis than us today which as a coach you can accept. We have a quick turnaround and will need to be at our best tomorrow against another terrific team in Wichita St."
