SHIGLEY PERSPECTIVE

 

• "It was good to have Jeremias back in the lineup even if it was just for doubles.  He is still weak from being sick this week and didn't want to push him.  Martin Carrizo took one for the team today and played hurt.  We appreciate his commitment and sacrifice!  Leonardo Sprovieri, Karl Wurth, and Josh Turnquest all played amazing tennis today.  All three won four matches today."

 

• "We were able to honor our seniors today, we are going to miss Karl and Josh.  Their leadership and talent have been so valuable for our team.  The last four years, the men's record is 121-18 for a .870 winning percentage.  Their highest ranking is the current ranking of No. 2 in the nation.  This year our record is 39-4.  They have literally set every school record."

 

 

SHIGLEY PERSPECTIVE

 

• The Wildcats will take a break before traveling to Mobile, Alabama to compete in the NAIA National Championship May. 17 - May 21.
