Coach's Corner
"What else can I say but how proud I am of this group of guys," stated head coach
Daniel Finn. "They came out and brought it again today. Day in and day out from practices to matches, they just flat out bring it and have a yearning desire to compete. We were able to get through the conference regular season and tournament this year without dropping a single game. That is no easy feat at all and in my mind just shows the relentlessness of this group of guys. We will certainly enjoy this moment today but come Monday, it will be time to focus in on preparations for the NAIA National Championships in a few weeks."
Up Next
The Seahawks claim the Sun Conference automatic bid into the NAIA National Tournament. Keiser will await to see who it plays in the national tournament on May 16 in Mobile, Ala.
