Coach's Corner

When asked about today's result, Head Coach Robert McAdoo had this to say: "The men played well today; it was a total team effort. Saint Leo is certainly talented. I was really happy with our doubles play today. Heber and Didrik beat the top D-II team in country, and the second and third team played solidly; just came up a bit short in tiebreaks. I was definitely pleased with the effort in singles. Yassir and Shaheed led the way, and Strauss finished the job. He stepped up big for us after a few tough weeks. We will get to work Monday and keep getting better!"
