Coach's Corner
Head Coach Daniel Finn said, "Strong effort by the ladies today. That was a very good and extremely underrated SCAD team that the ladies handled today.  In my opinion, we beat a top five team today. The women did a good job from the beginning and came out and played very strong doubles which really set the tone for the match.  We still have to work on our intensity and energy levels throughout the match as well as some tactical things but all in all this was a very solid performance the ladies put on today. Now we get back to work and prepare for a tough matchup later this week against Lynn."
 
Up Next
The Seahawks will take on the fifth ranked team in NCAA Division II, Lynn University on Thursday.
