GLEGHORN PERSPECTIVE

 

• "This was a really tough loss to swallow," said James Gleghorn, Head Tennis Coach. "We worked so hard to get a 3-0 lead and just failed to close out the match. We have not figured out how to win tough matches. I need to be a better coach to get them over the hump. Back at it tomorrow against Judson."
