COACH SHIGLEY SAYS…
“I don’t think people appreciate the level of high quality play by our women’s tennis team. We just beat a team in the middle of the pack for our league and lost a total of six games in nine matches. We didn’t lose a game in doubles. Our girls are playing extremely well right now. If we can bring home a victory vs. Goshen tomorrow, we will lock up the Crossroads League regular season title. I know our girls will be ready.”
UP NEXT
Indiana Wesleyan hosts Goshen (Ind.) at 4 p.m. on Thursday at Sutter Tennis Center. IWU can clinch the outright league championship with a victory in their final league match of the season.
