"It was a good way to complete the Ohio Invitational," head men's tennis coach David Schilling shared. "We went 3-0 versus three ranked teams- so we can feel it was a success. It was, however, tough playing a match at 8 a.m. after a long doubleheader yesterday, but the guys have a lot of grit and heart. I'm proud of their effort."
