Head Coach Daniel Finn said, "This was not a bad day as the ladies came out strong and played with purpose. I felt we had a little let down to start singles from an energy standpoint but we found a way to get through it. We have had some tough sessions in recent days but the team responded well despite how their legs may have felt. Now we can rest up and get ready for Coastal Georgia on Saturday."


Keiser remains in conference play as they welcome Coastal Georgia to town on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. The match will be played at Patch Reef Park in Boca Raton, Fla.
