When asked about today's result, Head Coach
Daniel Finn had this to say: "Overall good to get the win today. Wasn't always the cleanest across the board, but Wayne State has a feisty team and competes well and did what they could to make things uncomfortable for us early. The ladies did a good job of being in the moment when it mattered and made sure they took care of business today."
On the performance of Vidanovic, "Vanja has been playing disciplined the past 3 matches and it's shown in the scores. It's not easy to beat anyone 6060 and to do it three times in a row does talk about our level of focus lately."
Keiser will face Division II Hillsdale at home on Tuesday, March 11 in Boca Raton, Fla. First serve from Patch Reef Park is set for 2:00 p.m.
