Coach's Corner
"Tough one to lose today," said Head Coach, Daniel Finn, "It's never easy to compete for over five hours and come away the loser. Both teams fought like dogs for this one and unfortunately we came out on the losing end of it today. I'm proud of the guys for the effort they showed and how they competed point by point. Truthfully, it wasn't one of our best days on tennis, but probably one of the hardest that they have competed and that's what kept them in the match and gave them opportunities in the end to have a chance. Credit to UIndy they have a great team and dug in to get this one against us. Never feels good to lose but it's a long season and we will lick our wounds and start getting ready for the next one."
