COACH SHIGLEY SAYS…
“Our men were timed but still managed to play a very competitive match vs. NCAA DII Davenport. Their men’s team is very strong. We had some opportunities to win some points but couldn’t convert. We would love to play this team outdoor, they love to bang, which translates well indoors. I think it could be a different story outdoors.”
