Coach's Corner
Head Coach Daniel Finn said, "Happy to get out of this one unscathed.  That was a very good and very gritty Union team that fought till the very end.   Our boys didn't really play well today and the conditions weren't easy but the guys did a good job of getting the points needed and got off the court. Was big in the end to have Fred come back and win his match in straight sets so we could get off the court sooner and start recovering and preparing for tomorrow."

Up Next
The Seahawks will face the winner of Middle Georgia and Lindsey Wilson tomorrow in the semifinal round.
