Coach's Corner
Head CoachÂ
Daniel Finn said, "Very solid effort by the boys today. They brought a great level of intensity today and literally competed for every ball throughout the match. Ultimately that's why the score looks the way it does. For the boys to come out and push around a solid team the way they did both emotionally and tennis-wise is awesome. Going into the match there was obviously a lot of questions of how we would play from an emotional standpoint and the guys really rallied around one another and competed as hard as I've seen them fight all year. I'm very proud of the effort today, and this will be something we certainly try to build on moving forward into tomorrow's match and the rest of the season."
