"Happy for the boys," said Head Coach, Daniel Finn, "Today was a strong showing against a very good Southeastern team. We knew doubles would be important today and that Southeastern would come out with a lot of energy early on, so setting the tone immediately would be important. The boys did that, and it made things a lot easier. From there, the depth of our team throughout our lineup took over. The boys knew what they needed to do and took care of business. Again, I'm happy with the performance and being tournament champions.  Now, we just have to wait to see what the tournament committee decides for our seed."


The Seahawks will await their opponents for the NAIA National Championship taking place in Mobile, Alabama.
