When asked about today's result, Head Coach
Daniel Finn had this to say: "Solid overall team win. Wayne State has a good team that competes well. Our depth throughout our lineup really helped to make things easier on us today."
On scheduling multiple Division II opponents: "It's just important to compete against strong competition, regardless of whatever division they're in. Being able to go out and compete and be put in some uncomfortable positions and see how the players respond, and for the most part, they have been doing a good job."
Keiser's next match will be on Friday, March 20 against New College of Florida. First serve from the Mitch Gornto Tennis Center is set for 2:00 p.m.
