COACH SHIGLEY PERSPECTIVE

• On match one: "We overpowered Ohio Wesleyan for a good win. We only lost seven games in nine matches."
• On match two: "This is a match we really wanted to win as redemption from a bad loss last year. DePauw is a quality team and is always ranked among D3 schools. They are an excellent doubles team, so it was vital to take the 2-1 lead after doubles. We are excited about taking this win streak into spring break!"

UP NEXT

• The Wildcats head to Arizona for their Spring Break trip. They play Arizona Christian on February 28th at 4:00 PM. The match will be played at Paseo Racquet Club in Glendale, Ariz. This match starts a string of five total matches in Arizona.
