WINONA, Minn. — The Saint Mary's University men's tennis team had no answer for Macalester's depth Sunday afternoon, as the Scots handed the Cardinals an 8-1 Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference setback at the Winona Tennis Center.
 
"Macalester was a bridge too far today," said Saint Mary's coach Jeff Halberg. "I thought the guys put up an incredible effort, but Macalester is tough, and just too deep.
 
"You have to tip your caps to (Macalester), they played a fantastic match."
 
Reilly Fredell (Colorado Springs, Colo.) picked up Saint Mary's lone win, posting a 6-4, 7-2 victory at No. 6 singles.
 
The Cardinals (1-4 MIAC, 3-6 overall) have another busy weekend ahead, as they travel to St. Peter, Minn., for a 1:30 p.m. conference match against Gustavus on Saturday, before turning around and facing Macalester in a 9 a.m. contest at the Winona Tennis Center the following morning.
