Head Coach Bobby Pennington
"Wow, that was a great college tennis match. I have to credit my former assistant Olivia as she had those ladies ready to play. We got swept in doubles then really stepped up huge to play gritty Colgate Tennis in singles. Credit to Katerina, Amelia, Natalie, and Jordan for winning the match and clinching. More importantly, that takes us to 10-4 overall and 3-0 in Patriot League play, putting us on top of the scoreboard. Bring on Hamilton Tuesday"
