"Statement win by the boys," said Head Coach, Daniel Finn, "Ave Maria is an underrated team nationally and I thought our guys did a great job from start to finish of taking control of the match and not letting them in it on courts 1-6. It has been a tough stretch of matches with three nationally ranked D-II and NAIA teams in four days. I'm happy with how the guys have handled it and picked up some very big wins. Now we can take a day to rest, recover and get ready for another tough challenge this week with Lynn."


The Seahawks will play their third nationally ranked Division II team in eight days as they face No. 3 Lynn on Thursday, March 3.
