Coach's Corner
Head Coach
Daniel Finn said, "I'm happy with the win today for the ladies. Anytime you come to Embry Riddle to play it is never easy, and for the girls to control the match from the beginning was great to see. Today we had a few holes that we need to work on but overall it was a solid performance from a team that has played five matches in seven days. Now we get a few days to rest before a tough set of matches later this week against Towson and Georgia Gwinnett."
Up Next
The Seahawks are back in action on Tuesday, March 20 in Orlando when they take on NCAA Division I Towson University, beginning at 11:00 a.m.
