Coach's Corner
"Always happy to get a 9-0 win," stated head coach
Daniel Finn. "The boys honestly didn't play their best tennis at times today but in the end they found a way to win when they needed the points. Make no mistake, that is a very underrated Davenport team. In the end I am happy with the way the guys competed and pushed one another through to the 9-0 win. We are continuing to get better and at the end of the day that is what you want at this point in the year."
