The weather prevented two promising matches in the No. 4 and 5 singles. McPhillips and Pulido both split their first two sets in their matches, but neither was able to play a game in the third set of their matches.
Pesatova was bailed out by the storm, trailing Xavier's Courtney 3-6, 1-4 in No. 2 singles action.
Despite the meteorological woes of the afternoon, Rosas was pleased with Miami's efforts.
"We had really good matches," Rosas said. "We played good, we didn't think about the wind too much."
Rosas will be the acting head coach for the remainder of the season. Former Head Coach Ray Reppert broke the heart of Miami tennis after leaving the squad Feb. 14 to accept a position as a director at a private tennis club in St. Petersburg, Fla. Reppert served as Miami's head coach for the past 12 years before his departure this year.
Miami currently owns a record of 2-2 in conference play, but 8-10 overall.
With the end of the season rapidly approaching, Rosas feels good about his squad entering the final stretch.
"We're picking up confidence, this team is stepping up," Rosas said. "We know we can win."
The team will continue MAC play Friday when they travel to Bowling Green, followed by a trip to Western Michigan Saturday.
Both teams are negotiating a makeup date for Tuesday's postponed matches.
