Coach's Corner
"Good team win today," said Head Coach, Daniel Finn, "Certainly things didn't look great coming out considering Case Western jumped all over us and gave us a lesson early on. CWRU has a great team and showed why they are the No. 1 team in D-III. I'm proud of the boys in the way that they settled down going into singles and set the tone moving forward. Getting big leads early on almost all six courts was huge to flip the momentum in our favor. From there, it was our type of match and the boys did a great job executing the game plans and making each court as physical as possible. The change of pace was the difference maker today and helped us win each of the six singles points. We will recover now and start getting ready for another really tough challenge come Thursday."


Up Next

With No. 1 out of the way, Keiser will set their sites on Division III, No. 2 Washington University St. Louis on Thursday to be played in Orlando, Fla. at the USTA Campus.
