Coach's Corner
Head Coach
Daniel Finn said, "Tonight we did a much better job on the doubles side. We could have certainly benefited by NAIA scoring tonight because we played very well but only got a point. The boys came out and brought a lot of energy and really competed hard from the start. In the end though, we still got a lot of work to do and a lot of faith to build in our tennis. We have a very talented group of guys but in the end our youth and inexperience cost us again tonight. We have a lot to improve and will get back to work tomorrow. preparing for Warner on Saturday."
