THEY SAID IT
Head Coach Jaco Keyser
- On this today's match: "Good bounce-back win today. Not a major goal but nice to be the East Division champs and have one seed from the East. I still think we have not played our best tennis this season, and hopefully, it comes full circle next week at Conference Championships, and the team gets rewarded for their hard work."
