"They got off to a great start, and we were simply un- able to gain any traction ear- ly. We competed at No. 2 dou- bles, losing a close first set 5 - 7 before dropping the second set 2-6." "We are going to have to improve in practice if we are going to compete with teams of this caliber," Beck added.
