Coach Jim Niebling said, “Ending league duals with back-to-back 8-0 wins made for a very excited team on the bus ride home. The girls relished their win, and they hope to carry this momentum with them into the league tournament on Thursday where we know we will see competitive play from an equally hungry Williamston team. The match of the day goes to Novelle Matteson and Maura Lufkin at 3 doubles. They have improved as a pair in every match they've played together. Their confidence and support of one another makes them look like two parts of a whole on the court.”
