Coach's Corner
Head CoachÂ
Daniel Finn said, "Relentless effort by the boys today. We came out pretty flat in doubles and Webber brought a lot of intensity and that cost us some opportunities early. Having the tough match yesterday then turning around today was obviously a worry of mine. But with that said, the boys responded well for the most part and taking control of the match when they had to. We met as a team between doubles and singles and the main point we talked about was controlling what we can control and bringing the energy. The boys did just that in singles and crushed from there. This was a tough week of tennis but now we get a week to prepare for a good Coastal Georgia team next Saturday,"
