Thoughts from Coach Southern

"Today's match was the definition of a team win. Although only five played in the match, all 12 players on the roster contributed to this win.  Western NM has three talented freshman but our experience helped us down the stretch of matches on key moments. Superlano picked up right where he left off last spring by clinching both matches for the men this weekend."

Up Next

On Friday, the Firestorm will host both Lewis-Clark State and Hope International at the Phoenix Tennis Center.  First serve against the Warriors is 9:00 am.
