Coach's Corner

When asked about today's result, Head Coach Daniel Finn had this to say: "The performance was simply not good enough, and we have to take full responsibility for the outcome. While Southeastern capitalized on opportunities, the real issue was a lack of focus and mental toughness on our part. Despite being in control across most courts, the team lost its edge and allowed the match to slip away. There is a need for improvement in mindset, effort, energy, and intensity across the board. Moving forward, we need to be stronger mentally to avoid turning matches that are in our control into battles of attrition that can get away from us."
