Coach's Corner

When asked about today's result, Head Coach Daniel Finn had this to say: "Happy with today's performance. William Carey is a very good team, and for us to be able to get on and off the court efficiently was important. They've even been ranked No. 1 in the ITA poll. The girls did a great job getting through doubles and then came out strong in singles to finish the job. Now it's all about resting, recovering, and getting ready to do it again tomorrow."


On message to the team heading into tomorrow's match: "Nothing changes for us. It's another match, and we need to approach it that way regardless of whether we've been here before or not."
