FROM THE SOURCE
Head Coach Bobby Pennington

"After the men lost the doubles point, we had a season-defining huddle. The culture is way too strong to not turn it around and that was by far our best singles performance, winning all six singles in straights. That's two in a row and 2-1 in the league. We have the five biggest league matches in a row starting Sunday with Lehigh. We respect but don't fear anyone."

UP NEXT
The Raiders prepare for a big-time matchup against a strong opponent in Lehigh Sunday night. The match is set to start at 6 p.m. inside Drumlins.
