Coaches Corner
"We are proud about winning against a very good Lees-McRae squad", said Head Coach
Chuck Kriese. "The guys played excellent doubles to win the point versus Campbell but as the coach, I take the blame for our singles performance. We were good enough to win, but Campbell played better than us coming down the stretch. They played tough in the clutch, so credit to them."

"Our team has a lot under the hood, and I love the way that we compete. The difference in winning and losing these matches is very, very small and I'm proud of the team and the direction they're headed in."
