SHC coach
Shawn Taylor said following the match, "Obviously getting swept in both matches was not the goal, but I thought we battled well with LSU across the board and had good opportunities.
"Weather was a factor against Tulane. The wind and rain made it a challenge for both teams. Tulane was much better at adapting their play. We're still learning how to adapt our style of play as the conditions change."
The Badgers (4-8) will next play at the Dolphins of Jacksonville University (Fla.) in a rare doubleheader on Tuesday at 2 and 4:30 p.m.
