When asked about today's result, Head CoachÂ
Daniel Finn had this to say: "Happy coming away with the 4-0 win. That's a place that has the potential of always bringing out the ugly tennis in you. It's never an easy place to play, so you're always happy when you can get a comfortable win."
On the importance of starting conference play with a win, "You always play to win the game. The expectations and goals of the team are extremely high and we go into a match like this with the expectation of winning it."
Keiser will get a long break until they play SCAD-Atlanta on Saturday, March 15. First serve from Patch Reef Park in Boca Raton, Fla. is set for 1:00 p.m.
