COACH SHIGLEY PERSPECTIVE

• "We played a great match vs Marian; however the entire men's team was in quarantine and just got out. They will be so much better in a couple weeks. Eli Steiner beat a very good player that defeated him last year at the ITA Tournament. Great win for Eli. Isaac Steiner and Grant Esposito dominated their matches today, both singles and doubles."
• "The St. Francis team only had four guys eligible, so we dominated the match from the very start. Our guys played solid tennis and it allowed us to play nine different guys in the lineup today."

UP NEXT

• The team rounds out the Crossroads League regular season on Wednesday with matches against Huntington at 9:30 a.m. and Grace at 4:30 p.m. at the Sutter Tennis Center in Marion, Ind.
