"Good to get a tough road win," said Head Coach,
Daniel Finn, "This wasn't an easy trip. From having to play until 8 p.m. last night and turning around to play in a hostile place today against a top-10 team is incredibly difficult. That being said, I'm happy that the ladies found a way to win on a day where we played pretty subpar through most of the day. I'll give credit to Southeastern, they competed and fought throughout, however, our ladies just did a better job at winning. Winning the important points in the majority of the matches was crucial for us to get out of there with the win. Sometimes that's all that matters and then you go right back to work. That's what we will do Monday getting ready for another really tough week ahead."
Keiser will welcome Division II, No. 4 West Alabama to Patch Reef Park on Wednesday, March 29 at 1:00 p.m.
