MSU played Cal this Sunday on the Golden Bears courts and left on the losing end of 4-0 match. MSU came back valiantly the next day and defeated the Bulldogs 4-3.

"(On Monday) we didn’t have the pressure (of playing against) Cal-Berkeley, the ladies played a lot looser feeling that the pressure was not on them,” Jardim said.

The team started off slow in the win against Fresno State losing the point from doubles matches and dropping two singles matches, finding themselves in a 3-0 hole. The team won the other four singles matches going on to win 4-3.

“To start off doubles we did not play well at all and it kind of in a way to be honest it helped us because Fresno State ending up feeling I think too confident,” Jardim said. “Because of how terrible we played doubles, I think that they thought they had the match (won) and they relaxed and when singles started we turned things around completely.”

Jardim believes the weekend in California did great things for her team, including bringing them together and building more chemistry.

“That was the first time we traveled to see them have ... some time together some team bonding (and) although it’s a long trip it’s alway good to have those because you get closer with each other, they really came together as a team because of that.”

The team has most of the week off before returning to play Sunday in another double-header against Toledo in the morning and Bowling Green in the evening.

“Those double-headers are always tricky, this is going to be our second one,” Jardim said. “Just being able to go out and be clean in a way (is what I expect from the team on Sunday), just because you want to get in get out and move on to the next match ... you want to have short matches, you’re not just going out there and slapping balls.”
