Coach President commented on the Bulldogs' wins saying, "Great showing from both teams today. We showed a different level of focus today compared to our previous matches. The energy was up there, the love for the game was up and we just had a lot of fun! Our programs just took another step in a positive direction, and we are moving forward to accomplish our goals!"
The Bulldog men are now 6-1 on the season and a perfect 3-0 in KCAC play while the women are 4-3 overall, and 2-1 in conference matches. The Bulldog men will be back in action on Saturday when they travel to Bartlesville, Okla. To take on the Oklahoma Wesleyan University Eagles. The Eagles don't have women's team, so the Bulldog ladies will get the weekend off. First serve for the men's match is slated for 3:00 pm.
