When asked about today's result, Head Coach
Daniel Finn had this to say: "Good team win today. St. Thomas is a feisty, scrappy, and possibly underrated team. Throw in some tough conditions with the wind and us mentally getting on our own way at times, it wasn't the easiest day for us. That said, the ladies did a good job of stepping up to make sure we got in and out today without any issues."
On Violet surpassing 100 singles wins: "Really proud of Vi. Incredible achievement. I've said it before and I'll stand by my statement, she is the best player to grace the grounds of Keiser and continues to show it. Very few players ever get to the century mark in college tennis and for her to achieve it playing No. 1 singles is an even bigger statement."
Keiser hits the road on Sunday for a match against Division II, No. 10 Flagler. First serve will be from the Pollard Tennis Center in St. Augustine, Fla.
