WHAT HEAD COACH SEAN MCCAFFREY SAID
"I believe this past weekend's wins in Atlanta has given the women some added momentum as we head into the final regular season match. We know Arkansas State will be tough as they are also trying to improve their standing in the Sun Belt. I am confident the team is ready and super focused to finish strong. They seem to be peaking at the right time. Saturday is also Senior and Alumni Day, where we can recognize all the former players who will helpfully come out and cheer on this group of Eagles. This is a time we can recognize our lone senior,
Ella Monsey, for all her contributions to the Eagle tennis program. We hope to have a good crowd on hand to help us keep this strong momentum that we have into the conference tournament next week."
