COACH SHIGLEY SAYS…

• “William Carey is a very strong team. We just could not generate any momentum against them. As soon as we would start to make a run they would break our serve and slam the door. It is very good for us to play this level of competition. We also played without our No. 3 and No. 4 singles players due to injuries and this is hard to overcome.”
