BROWNING'S BULLETS: "Today we ran into a very good team. However this is one of the best matches we've played at all of the positions. Again, we are shorthanded, but competed extremely well. At #1 doubles we played extremely well. It was some of the best doubles we've played all year at that position with a new combination. And overall, much better doubles at all of the spots. There are a lot of positives to take from this match. We have two big conference matches next week that we are looking forward to. We just need to take the next couple of days to prepare to get ready."
LOOK AHEAD: The Colonials will return home to host Fordham on Thursday at 10 a.m. at the Southeast Tennis and Learning Center (STLC).
