The men, Ranked No. 15 in the nation, and women, ranked No. 13 in the nation, both now stand at 9-5 overall for the season.

"It's definitely disappointing to lose three matches on this road trip, but we are determined to make adjustments and improve from these matches,” said head coach Greg Prudhomme. “It can be a bit risky to the win/loss record to schedule so many top teams in the country but this is the exposure we need to become a top team."
