GLEGHORN PERSPECTIVE

 

• "What a strong day for IWU men's tennis! To be able to come back after losing two straight matches and beat Goshen after losing to them a few weeks ago, showcases the character and fight of this team. We had a lot great individual efforts today, but I think the game ball goes to the fans! They were loud, and they never stopped until the match was clinched. Thank you to all who came out!"
• "Isaac had the golden match! He went undefeated once again in double and singles. Alex and Trey clinched the doubles and then clinched the match in singles. Grant, Nugget, Noah, and Connor are contributing so much to this program, and I am so grateful for their efforts and contributions. Our team wouldn't be going to the semi's without them."
