The Marauders fall to 0-3 between their fall and spring seasons, while the Redhawks improve to 6-3.

MATCH HIGHLIGHTS
• The match came down to flight six singles between Rodrigo Lorencin, making his collegiate debut, and Andrew Freeman. After losing the first set, 6-2, Lorencin came back and won the second set, 6-4, but ultimately lost the deciding set, 6-3. 
• Millersville lost another well-fought match at flight one singles. Peter Landis fell to Guido Janssen, 7-6 (7-3), 6-3.

COACH MATT HELSEL QUOTES
• "Great match today. I couldn't ask for a better effort from the guys. We're still so young, so matches like this will really help us develop."
• "Peter Landis is a warrior. He just doesn't go away. He takes on the the toughest shots from our opponents' best players every match and goes toe-to-toe every time. You can't ask for more than that. Peter has been doing that a long time. On the other hand, for Rodrigo to perform like that in his very first match speaks volumes to the type of player he is and the strength of his character. He's gonna be a good one."
• "Our doubles were okay. We have some things to tweak in that area. Winning the doubles point would have been huge today. In this format, we have to start hot and play very aggressive. We'll learn to do that."
• "We're going to be in a lot of close matches this year. Two of our three matches this season, counting the fall, were 4-3. We're competitive, but now we need to learn how to win close matches."

NOTES
• Millersville is now 0-3 all-time against Roberts Wesleyan.
• This was the first match between these two teams since the Redhawks' 9-0 win on Sept. 23, 2016.
• The Marauders have narrowly lost back-to-back matches by scores of 4-3.

UP NEXT
• Millersville will be back in action tomorrow, Sunday, March 3, when it takes on Le Moyne at 11 a.m.
