COACH SHIGLEY SAYS…
Really tough match today vs. an excellent Indiana Tech team. The fans were treated to some excellent tennis. The match was much closer than the 8-1 final score. We went 3-1 in third set tiebreakers, which was highlighted by Riley Worland’s 17-15 win in the third set tiebreaker at No. 4 singles. We played exceptional doubles to gain the 3-0 edge which gave us the momentum into singles. Eli Steiner and Grant Esposito played exceptionally well in singles to give us the win.
