"Good effort for the ladies today," said Head Coach, Daniel Finn, "I thought we did a good job for the most part of taking care of what they needed to do against a top-10 team early in the tournament. Doubles was a little bit slow early on, but I was happy how we settled in and won the big points, and found our rhythm for singles. Now the main thing on our minds is recovering and preparing for another tough one tomorrow. These conditions are tough when on-court temperatures are at or over 100 so recovering is everything."


The Seahawks will meet a familiar NAIA Tournament opponent tomorrow in No. 11 Xavier at 2:00 p.m. on the Mobile Tennis Courts.
