Coach's Corner
Head Coach Daniel Finn said, "We have a lot to learn, but I'll give credit to Lynn. They have a strong program and know how to compete in the big points. Tonight, we got beat by a very strong team that exploited some things we have to learn. First, we have to be able to trust ourselves and our tennis in the big moments. Tonight, we didn't do that and that was one of the biggest factors. We will go home after this one, lick our wounds and get back to work tomorrow."
