Coach
Barry Gorman states, "I thought it was a good season for our team especially because of how young we were. Our freshman got some great match experience and were able to adjust to the level of college tennis. A lot of different people stepped up for us throughout the season and we are looking forward to the spring!"
That concludes the 2018 Season for the Women's Tennis team but they will play again in Florida in the spring.
