"We had to battle to get the doubles point," head coach Justin Stuckey said. "Credit Dayton for bringing the fight to us in the singles matches, however, we were ready to step up and close out the match. We played with a lot of heart and energy in the past matches. We will get back to work next week so that we can keep improving."
