QUOTE FROM COACH KEYSER
"I thought that was a very good finish to the fall season. It would have been nice to sneak out one or two more matches today, but we still have to improve from a quality of play standpoint in practice in order to win some of those. I'm very excited with regards to how far we have come this fall. In August, we were not very good for some reason but the improvement is tremendous and more exciting is the competitive identity that we are forging once again. If we continue this trend the next two months then we will be successful this upcoming season."

UP NEXT
The Jaguars next take the courts in January at the start of the spring season.
