Coach's Corner
"The men have been playing very well lately. I was really impressed with our play in doubles. Everything is starting to gel in doubles with all three teams playing strong. We have a good opponent in Indiana Wesleyan (No. 8 in NAIA Top 25 poll) coming in tomorrow. We'll be ready for the challenge," said Head Coach
Chase Hodges.
