"The team came out looking sharp, focused and determined, leading us to a quick 3-0 start in doubles," Head Coach Jay Tee said. "That wave carried right into singles where we continued to have a presence and didn't let up. We have some things to work on, but overall, I was really happy with the way we competed and executed against a prominent program in Kenyon."
