COACH SHIGLEY SAYS…

“Grand Valley State is a very good DII team. We had several opportunities to get some points. No. 1 doubles had three match points, Riley and Diego played very competitive matches. Eli and Espo both lost in third set tiebreakers. Overall, this was a really good warmup for the first match of the spring season to get some of the rust off.”
