“We just had too many unforced errors today,” head coach Traci Young said.
York forced a third set tie-break at fourth singles for Valpo against Kelly Fritz, but eventually fell 5-7, 6-4, 10-4.
“Stephanie played really well today,” Young added. “She was very consistent and in the match the entire way.”
