COACH SHIGLEY SAYS…

• “The guys were a bit rusty from a two week layoff from matches. However, Gavin and Eli played really well at the top of the lineup. Our No. 3 player, Joel Montgomery, cut his hand today fixing lunch that required stitches so it looks like he will be out for at least two weeks. The rest of the guys will need to step it up in his absence. We did set a program record today for most wins in a season with 24.”
