For the second-consecutive afternoon, the Wichita State women's tennis team faced long odds and came up just short, this time dropping a 5-2 decision to South Florida at the Wichita Country Club indoor facility.
As was the case in Thursday's 4-3 setback against Cincinnati, WSU (6-10) played with just five active players, essentially spotting the visitors two free points in doubles and No. 6 singles.
Needing to win four of the five remaining singles matches, the Shockers found themselves in the driver's sets after winning first sets on each of the top-four courts.
"We fought super-hard both these matches," head coach Colin Foster said.
