Box Score

Joanna Cardona and Catherine Chrobak picked up singles points for KC

KANSAS CITY, Kan. - Playing in its first home match of the year, Kansas City Tennis (2-3) fell to Creighton (6-0). In a battle that was closer than the final score indicated, the top of the Roos' lineup gave the team a chance throughout the day.

In the absence of Kate Miley, Ashley Jacobson made her Kansas City debut today, playing in No. 2 doubles with Catherine Chrobak. Creighton took the doubles point and then grabbed quick wins at No. 5 and 6 singles to take an early advantage. However, the top of the Roos' lineup made it a match. Chrobak and Joanna Cardona picked up singles wins to make things interesting, but Creighton clinched the match moments later.

COACH KENDELL HALE, QUOTED

"Adversity comes to mind ... We had to rearrange our doubles and lost a little momentum going into singles. The top four grinded and we had chances at every position."

"(Chrobak) is the one that I know what I'm getting every single time she steps out on the court. Right now we're riding a roller coaster every time we walk out and I don't know who is going to be where ... We tend to go down to people's level and that's costing us right now."
