From Coach
"It was a tail of 4 quarters today with the men. They came out on fire against Wilkes, but couldn't find the next level in singles. We started slow against kings but really played well in singles. We are looking forward to the playoffs next week. Hope to finish the season strong." - Head Coach Tom Battaglia
