Coach's Corner
Head Coach Daniel Finn said, "Another businesslike performance from the ladies today. We still have to get better with our starts, but overall the ladies team is doing a great job of competing and sinking their teeth into the match like they did today. Obviously, I'm happy to get a solid W over a good team today and start a tough stretch of matches off on a good win like this one. Now we have a quick turnaround to get ready for, but I am certainly excited to see what we are capable in the coming stretch of matches."

The Seahawks return home tomorrow as they host Missouri Baptist University at Oxbridge Academy beginning at noon.
