Fresno, Calif. -

The Tigers put up a fight, but the Bulldogs bite was worse than their bark.  The Tigers suffered a tough loss, however some of the matches were very close.  The doubles match that featured Artem Gramma and Fernando Ristow was very close.  Also, the singles matches for Ivan Castro and Alex Golding went to three sets. 

After the match coach Redondo stated, "Fresno State played very strong through out the whole day. Our doubles was off today, but we came out and competed and put ourselves in positions to win in most of our singles matches. FSU showed why they are a top 30 team today and we are using that as fuel as we see that we are right there with them in singles. We are moving forward and eager to compete again."
