KEARNEY, Neb. - The South Dakota State women's tennis team fought a hard battle in a 4-3 loss to Rockhurst Saturday afternoon at the Grand Island Tennis Center.

"We played a lot better than we did yesterday as there was a lot more energy," head coach Joey J. Barnes said. "We still played with fear and without trust. Our abilities reflect with these results because of the lack of trust. We will continue to move forward."

Maria Laura Velazco and Emilly Van Dijk won their doubles point 6-1 at No. 3 and Katerina Tretyakova and Theodora Kyriakopoulou won 7-5 at No. 1 to capture the doubles point for the Jacks.
