GLEGHORN PERSPECTIVE

 

• "The guys lost a tough 4-3 match to Indiana Tech. All credit to Indiana Tech for playing a strong match after a tough loss yesterday. Alex played his best match of the year and really come out and dominated in singles and doubles. He is playing phenomenal tennis right now. Isaac gutted out another 3rd set tie-breaker win. Grant lost a close three set match but played an incredibly smart match. I am so proud of the strides he has made this season. He is a joy to coach."
