Coach's Corner
Head Coach Daniel Finn said, "First of all, let me congratulate Kevin and Gilad for great tournaments in singles and doubles. We wish them the best of luck moving forward. For our guys though, wow, saying that I am proud of Daniel and Vicente would be an understatement. Daniel in singles and with Vicente in doubles had one heck of a tournament and played their hearts out!  These guys both represented Keiser with class and dignity and fought for everything they got while here. In the end, Daniel finished second in the NAIA and him and Vicente did the same in doubles.  That is not only an accomplishment to be very proud of but the best finish in both singles and in doubles in school history. Their performance really sets the standard for the entire program moving forward.  Very proud of both these guys."
