"Tough match today," said Head Coach,
Daniel Finn, "Barry is one of the best teams in the country in any division much less just the best in d2. However, our expectation doesn't change and we still expect to put a better performance out there. In all honesty, today's match could've been a lot closer than what the score indicated. We were in several matches before it clinched and had opportunities in doubles and singles but we struggled at executing. A slow start today was costly and we couldn't find our way back. You can't count on getting all the breaks going your way when playing a team like this.The ceiling for this women's team is still an extremely high one, the main thing is the girls have to start believing in themselves and their abilities and the execution will take care of itself. A loss like today doesn't define us, but shows that there is room to grow and we will get right back to work tomorrow."
The Seahawks will have to turnaround and get ready for another tough matchup with DII No. 2 Nova Southeastern on April 6.
