OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. - Facing a ranked opponent for the third straight day, Midwestern State fell 4-1 to Flagler (Fla.) on Sunday morning on the final day of the ITA Indoor Team Championship held at the OKC Tennis Center.

"To get to compete against the best in college tennis is a unique experience," MSU Texas head coach Scott Linn said. "Next year, we look forward to competing even better. I want to thank Jim McCoy, Dr. Dave Flack, Tommy McCulloch, Brad Altman, George Beloretchki, Union Square, and the WFCC Tennis Pros and Members for all of their financial support that allowed us to host this prestigious national event."

For the second time in two days, Midwestern State lost the doubles point in heartbreaking fashion, losing the tiebreaker at number one 7-6 (7-0).
