COACH SHIGLEY SAYS…

“I don’t think we stop to realize what our girls tennis team does year in and year out. We have won the league title 26 years in a row and tonight beat our biggest challengers 7-1 and Laura was about to make it 8-1, when play was halted due to lightning. This is a special program with a group of wonderful young ladies. Our middle of our lineup simply crushed it today. I think this team is going to do some incredible things this year.”

UP NEXT

Thursday’s scheduled match vs. Northwestern Ohio has been canceled so Indiana Wesleyan’s next contest is Saturday vs. Goshen (Ind.). The match begins at 10 a.m. at Sutter Tennis Center.
