When asked about today's result, Head Coach
Daniel Finn had this to say: "The girls did what they needed to do today and took care of business. We talked going in about how important the first 10-15 minutes of the match would be to set the tone, and I thought we did a good job of establishing ourselves."
On picking up an important road win, "Firstly, southeastern is never an easy place to play. It always seems like there's a lot of chaos at that place. Even today they had an ice cream truck blaring its music for an hour straight. So going in there and getting a clean win is definitely a positive moving forward."
Keiser will take on Division II Tampa on Tuesday, March 25 at home. First serve from Patch Reef Park in Boca Raton, Fla. is set for 2:00 p.m.
