Coach's Corner
Head Coach Daniel Finn said, "Today was a solid showing from the boys. That Coastal Georgia team is way underrated at No. 15 and is easily a top-ten caliber ranked team. For us to come away winning 7-2 and put out a strong performance the way we did certainly makes me happy. We're still embracing the process and trying to get better each day, while also recognizing we have areas we need to improve on, and we will let this win sink in and be happy with it. The guys can enjoy this and will get a little rest but this season is a grind and tomorrow we have to start our focus for a much improved Ave Maria team we play later in the week.
 
Up Next
The Seahawks are back in action this Wednesday, Feb. 21 as they host Ave Maria University at Patch Reef Park, scheduled for 2:00 PM.
