Head Coach Daniel Finn said, "We got off to a slow start today with the tough conditions but we were able to overcome the wind. I was happy to see Cami and Dugy handle some adversity and find a way to help us get the doubles point. From there, the ladies settled in and controlled singles play. Now, the same story as yesterday, rest up and get ready for a battle tomorrow in the semifinals."


The Seahawks will face No. 3 Xavier tomorrow in the semifinal round at 10:00 a.m.
