The Huskies played good tennis according to coach Kyle Christianson, but lost the match 6-3.
"We played four third-set tie breakers and went 2-2," Christianson said. "Those could have went either way. If we had won two more points in the ones we lost, we could have taken the match 5-4."

Dylan Johnson also won his singles match at No. 4.
In doubles matches, the No.2 team of the Huskies, Miller and Eric Christensen won 1-6, 6-3, 10-5.
Johnson competed in his fifth and sixth third-set tie-breaks of the year. He lost the first one in doubles but was able to take the second one in singles.
"There was a point at 7-5 in his singles tie-break that Dylan (Johnson) impressed me a lot," coach Christianson said. "Everything that we have been working on and stressing seemed to click. I hope this can continue and other players can start doing this."
In JV tennis action, Mike Withuski won his singles match 8-3, Jackson Huwe/Jacob Fehr won 9-8, in doubles and John Bartels/Alex Solberg won 8-6, also in doubles.
The Huskies travel to Fargo Friday to play matches against Williston and Bismarck Century.
