FROM THE COACH

"The men started the season with a bang with a clean sweep of a talented Albion team. Our serves were impressive and won the match for us. Martin even won his match after spraining his ankle. The women played well, but we were missing our number one, Carli Milano. Sarah Gallup really stepped up in her place and played an awesome three set three tie match," said Coach Day.
