COACH SHIGLEY SAYS…

• “This is Davenport’s best team ever. In light of that, I thought our guys fought hard and played well. Again, we were without our No. 3 and No. 4 players today due to injury. Can’t wait until we get our full lineup back. Andrew Block and Austin Christner played outstanding doubles tonight and I am really proud of them.”
