SHIGLEY PERSPECTIVE

• We played phenomenal tennis today. Grace has a great team and are for certain a Top-15 team in the nation, and will make the National Tournament. It is a testimony to the depth of our team that we were ahead at every singles spot when the match was clinched. It was really fun to have the Steiner brothers win the third and fourth points within a matter of minutes to get us the win! 

NEXT TIME OUT

• The Wildcats turn their attention to the ITA Midwest Regional Tournament on October 1-3.
