SAN MARCOS, Texas- Texas State's (4-11, 1-4) loss against Troy (7-9, 2-3) at home came down to a final match with Sofia Fortuno and a tiebreaker set. Troy leaves town with a 4-3 victory. 
 
"Extremely disappointing loss," said Texas State women's tennis head coach Tory Plunkett. "Tough one to take, we had nine match points, nine opportunities to win that match. The freshmen will learn and be stronger players for it. It's a tough one but we still have to move on if were still going to do something in conference."
