SAY WHAT
It was a great win for the guys tonight. I was really proud of the team and on how we acted and behaved. FGCU put up a great fight, but we were able to stick to our games at the crucial moments to secure the victory. Sahil came up clutch to win the fourth point for us in the tiebreaker after facing some adversity in the tiebreaker. I am just really happy for Yannick to get back on the court and for Jack to get out there for his first conference match. Overall it was great team win and now just looking forward to the next ASUN match." - Head Coach Mark Finnegan.
