COACH SHIGLEY SAYS…

• “Lewis Clark State is a very good team. They beat the No. 14 and No. 17 ranked teams earlier in the week and we knew they would be looking to pull off the upset. We were ready for them both physically and mentally. The girls played awesome tennis with a 5-0 win and we won the first set in the matches not finished. Great tennis all the way down the lineup.”
