Coach's Corner
Head Coach Daniel Finn said, "I am so proud of Megane and Daniela, this is an amazing moment for them. In the Oracle Cup, they ran into a strong Wesleyan team and we wish them the best of luck, as well as Camille for her singles, win in the final. But back to Mégane and Daniela, for them to come together as a team so quickly and accomplish what they have is awesome. We had some moments today but they handled their nerves well and did what they needed to do to find a way to win.   They both represented Keiser in a great way throughout this tournament and have set a very high bar for the program moving forward.  The ceiling is really high for these two special young ladies, who have now etched themselves in the Keiser and NAIA Oracle Cup history books."
