COACH SHIGLEY SAYS…

• “This is the first year for men’s tennis at Mount Vernon Nazarene. It will take them a few years to develop a competitive program but it was great to fellowship on the court with brothers in Christ from another school. It gave us the opportunity to play nine different guys in the lineup.”
