"Tough one to let get away," said Head Coach, Daniel Finn, "Thought it came down to the doubles point and we came out of the gates slow, not executing, and it cost us in the end. I thought across the board, we did a good job of fighting and competing to stay in the match, but it just came down to the small details. Full credit to Barry for the win, but today is one that we could have won and the guys know it. Now we need to move on and start prepping for a battle tomorrow. Coastal Georgia is a highly underrated team and they will bring a battle to us tomorrow. We will rest up this afternoon, make adjustments, and get ready to get back after it tomorrow."


The Seahawks will face Coastal Georgia on Saturday, February 12 in Boca Raton, Florida at Patch Reef Park.
