Head Coach Daniel Finn said, "I'll take it as it was not our best overall performance today. The ladies did a good job of winning the big points when it mattered the most. Cardinal Stritch is a solid team so we needed to be locked in from the start. I wasn't happy with the way we started off in doubles but we managed to fight through it and get the point. We're happy to have a few days off to work on some things before our schedule gets tougher."


The Seahawks will return to Orlando, Fla. on Monday to take on NCAA Division 1, Coastal Carolina at 10:00 a.m.
