Coach's Corner
"Great effort by the boys today," stated head coach
Daniel Finn. "That was a solid Olivet team. This was the fourth match in three days for the boys, including three nationally ranked opponents. To be able to play energetic and focused tennis at the end of these three days says a lot about the guys and their will to win. I definitely like the direction the boys are heading in."
