FROM THE SOURCE
Head Coach Bobby Pennington
"Always a great feeling to start out league play with a win and a shutout. The ladies struggled to win a tight doubles point but came out razor sharp in singles clenching at 2, 3, 4 to win the match 4-0. Kudos to Emme, Addie, and Jordan for taking care of business. This brings us to 8 and 4 overall and a lot of momentum headed into our huge home weekend of Lafayette and Lehigh."
