Coach's Corner
Head Coach
Daniel Finn said, "Once again the ladies were very business-like in their approach on the court. They stayed focused the entire match from top to bottom and that is always great to see. We have had some solid practices lately, and the ladies have performed well. It is nice to have the next seven days off before our next match. Now we just have to get back to work and get ready for next week,"
