Thoughts from Coach Carlisle
"Very efficient match for the guys today. There was nothing super flashy or special that we did, just rock solid tennis from start to finish which is exactly what we needed. Lewis-Clark has a great team and they don't beat themselves so we knew we'd have to work for this one and the guys were up for the challenge. Really proud of the entire team today, another total team win to start the season."

Next Up
The Firestorm will host Bethel College on Thursday at Paseo Racquet Center at 10:00 am.
