Coach's Corner
Head Coach Daniel Finn said, "This was a close and tough loss to a very good team today. The ladies competed really hard and fought all the way to the end. Despite coming up short, I am very happy with the way we came out and played doubles. I want to give a lot of credit to Buffalo as they have a very good team that was in the NCAA tournament last year and knows how to compete. They bounced back after doubles, which is what good teams do. I am never happy to lose but in hindsight, I'm certainly glad to see areas that we need to improve on so that we can address them and get better as the season progresses."
 
Up Next
The Seahawks will take on NCAA Division II, Nova Southeastern on Sunday at 11:00 a.m.
