COACH SHIGLEY SAYS…

• “We were really looking forward to a good and close match vs. William Carey. Although most of the matches were very close, we could not generate a point. These sort of matches show us how much we miss Thewuni Devaraja who is out with an injury. We will need to continue to get better, cut back on our mistakes, and raise our game to compete with the elite teams.”
