  Coach Corner
Head Coach Daniel Finn said, "This one will sting for a minute as it's always hard to lose these close ones. The boys left it all out there today and battled till the very end. However, it comes down to the little things like starting slow that bit us in the end. We didn't play very well in doubles and started slow across the board, so we had to play catch up on the scoreboard and emotionally. With that said, these guys clawed back and battled against come crazy crowd situations. I'm proud of the effort they showed against a strong team. We know where we need to get better and will work on that as we prepare for Southeastern this weekend."

Keiser will conclude Sun Conference play on Saturday at Southeastern University. The match is set for 1:00 p.m.
