Coach's Corner
Head Coach
Daniel Finn said, "Solid effort by the boys today. SCAD is a much improved team from last year and the boys handled them well today. We still have a lot to work on and have to be able to bring more intensity the entire way. Our team energy honestly wasn't good today and we got to get a lot better. We need to be able to continue to play smarter. But all in all, solid performance on the courts today."
