TOLEDO, OH – Toledo fell to Morehead State, 5-2, on Friday afternoon in the Glass City. With the loss, the Rockets drop to 7-8 on the season.

"We had a good experience today battling the elements and a feisty MSU team," said head coach Al Wermer. "Our doubles teams didn't play the best, but all in all, today will help us going forward."
