Quote
"Today was another solid effort from the guys. It's always tricky to play at RWU with the wind off the water. It took us a few games to adjust but we hit our stride. Blake had a big day for us, he and Seba were dominant in doubles. He followed that up by grinding out a tough first set then turning it on in the second. Hopefully we can continue our strong play as we finish out the conference slate." -Nichols head coach
