When asked about today's result, Head Coach
Daniel Finn had this to say: "The girls had to deal with some adversity today early on, having a rushed warm-up coupled with the high heat today. Tampa is never an easy place to play, in my opinion. That said, I thought they handled it well and did a good job of taking care of their matches today."
On
Patricia Apisah's performance: "She played well today. I would say it was a very focused and workmanlike showing from her today. She stayed focused and handled each point one at a time, and the score reflected it."
Keiser will be right back at it on Thursday with a match against Division II, No. 32 Wayne State at home. First serve from the Mitch Gornto Tennis Center is set for 2:00 p.m.
