“I think we psyched ourselves out before we even stepped on the court against Tecumseh,” Penn said. “It’s disappointing, because we don’t really know how we stack up against them now. It would have been nice to give ourselves a better showing.”
The Dreadnaughts travel to Saline on Tuesday for a 7 p.m. match. On Sept. 20, Dexter hosts Adrian at 7 p.m. On Sept. 24, the Dreadnaughts will participate in the University of Michigan-Dearborn Invitational.
