When asked about today's result, Head Coach
Daniel Finn had this to say: "Good win today. I thought that the girls did a good job sticking to their game plans across the board and had good shot selection throughout their matches, and it showed up on score."
On recent performance from Tangkau, "She did a great job today. She played very disciplined today and was really focused on keeping her shot selection consistent and simple. We're very confident in our team, and being able to go out today and win the match the way we did is just a way of showcasing our depth. Happy with the overall performance."
The Seahawks return to Sun Conference action this weekend with a pair of matches against Coastal Georgia and SCAD Savannah. Friday's match against the Mariners is set for 2:00 p.m. at home in Boca Raton, Fla.
