When asked about today's result, Head Coach
Daniel Finn had this to say: "Overall, I'm happy with the performance today. The girls took care of business and got on and off the court. It certainly wasn't the easiest to prepare for this match considering all the weather we dealt with this week, so it was nice to just actually get on the court for a full two hours at a time. In the end, the girls acted like professionals and executed."
Keiser will be right back on the courts tomorrow against No. 4 Southeastern. First serve from the Mitch Gornto Tennis Center is set for 2:00 p.m.
