When asked about today's result, Head Coach
Ali Borhani had this to say: "I was happy with the way we came out in doubles; Didrik and his partner did really well on court one to grab that win. In singles, Shaheed took down a guy that had singles wins over Yassir and Didrik, so I was happy to see such a convincing win. Overall, I thought we needed to run a little more today to extend some points, but we'll take those thoughts into conference play on Wednesday."
The Seahawks open Sun Conference play on Wednesday, February 25, against No. 23 St. Thomas at 2:00 p.m. in West Palm Beach.
