"Wasn't happy with the way we started today," said Head Coach,
Daniel Finn, "I'll give credit to West Alabama, they came out fast and played pretty solid doubles, but I did not like our energy and execution early on. That said, I thought the boys did a very good job going to singles and jumping out really fast from the start and flipping the momentum of the match in our favor. A little rain delay obviously slowed stuff down but, all in all, the boys did a good job today of controlling the energy of the match and played some focused tennis when they needed to. Now we gotta do the best we can to try to rest up for another two tough conference matches coming up this weekend."
Keiser will return to Sun Conference play this weekend with No. 11 Coastal Georgia on Friday and No. 24 SCAD-Savannah on Saturday.
