QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"We weren't very sharp in the doubles, and we dropped the point," head coach
Gary Glassman said. "We proceeded to drop the first set of every match in singles and found ourselves in a 3-0 hole. However, everyone just kept fighting and competing and good things happen when you play like that. Tonight, we were rewarded."
NEXT UP
Stony Brook will hit the court again on Saturday, Feb. 25, when it travels down to West Long Branch, New Jersey, to take on the Monmouth Hawks in the CAA opener. The match will begin at 5 p.m.
