COACHES COMMENT
 
"I am very happy with how we competed the entire day.  We played much improved doubles.  The singles matches were closer than the scores indicated.  We took a lot away from this experience.  It was certainly fun getting a chance to play outside once again in the sunshine. We played a tough pre-season (non-confernece) schedule, which hopefully helped prepare us for a healthy rest of the season and the start of the GLIAC season."
 
NEXT MATCH
 
The Warriors will play at Ferris State on March 19 at 11 AM.
