GRAND FORKS, N. D. - The South Dakota State men's tennis team fell short to North Dakota, 4-3 Saturday evening.

"The men should be proud of the way they played today," Ffion Davies said. "We didn't come out great during the doubles but we did such a great job turning it around and fighting in singles. We had some close matches and were unlucky in the end. We need to use this momentum and continue to fight and play in future matches!"
