Head Coach Bobby Pennington
"Men continue their strong run at the right time. We had a packed crowd, raised a lot of money for heart awareness, and celebrated our seniors Selati, Caldwell, and Vlassis. We set the tone in doubles, as they pushed us in certain spots. We now turn our attention to hosting the tournament and we're chomping at the bit.
