Thoughts from Coach Phil Carlisle
"A little bit of a slow start in doubles today, but we still secured that point and got into a much better groove in singles. It's been a great first month of the season for the guys, lots of positives to build on, and now we're excited to get to Tennessee and take on some of the best teams on the other side of the country."


Next Up
On Tuesday, March 3, the Firestorm will travel across the country to Pulaski, TN to face off against the University of Tennessee Southern at 1pm.
