QUOTE FROM COACH

"This was a great learning experience for the ladies," said Director of Tennis Gary Sussman.  "We are very short on match experience, and playing quality opponents like Bucknell will only benefit us as we move towards MAAC play in March.  A special shoutout to sophomore Jane Bockman, who played admirably at #1 singles in her first career start in that slot."
