"Statement win for the ladies today," said Head Coach,
Daniel Finn, "SCAD is never an easy match and always a difficult place to play. We always have a bullseye on our back, but especially when we play up here. Coming out strong early and grabbing the doubles point was huge for us today. We haven't been playing to our potential in doubles lately, so to come out and grab the momentum was big. Singles play wasn't the cleanest performance, but I liked the way we competed and continued to scrap for points. Our willingness to compete and fight got us the win today. We're going to enjoy this one and the regular season conference championship today, the girls should be proud of that. However, Monday is a new day and our schedule continues to ramp up. We'll keep looking forward and preparing for the fight ahead of us."
The Seahawks will have a short break before traveling back down to Miami Shores for a rematch with Barry.
