Coach's Corner
Head Coach Daniel Finn said, "Tough loss today as the boys battled a very strong team to the brink. We saw some things that we need to sharpen up on before our next match despite us really battling today. The doubles point was extremely tight and we had match points to take but couldn't convert. I am with the way we fought as we continued to give ourselves chances to win even when we didn't get the doubles point. West Florida is a traditional power in Division 2 and anytime you compete against them you can expect a battle. The boys continue to improve but we will address what we need to and get ready for another great test with our match tomorrow."
