SHIGLEY PERSPECTIVE

• Our ladies team played amazing tennis today. We played with incredible confidence and poise. It showed in our aggressive dominant play verse a very good Marian team. 29 straight League Tournament Championships is an incredible testimony to the history of our program. As a transfer student, it was really fun to have Tati clinch the win today for her first conference championship. I look forward to this team playing for a National Championship this spring.
