From Coach
Jay Friedman:
"We had a very competitive weekend, with the stakes highest on the last day versus a very quality Stetson team. I am thrilled with how the six guys responded to playing three days in a row for the first time this season. With two of our graduate students in Greece for their mandatory Crummer trip, it was nice to mix things around and see some combinations that will make us more prepared for early Spring. Overall, I think this was just what we needed to expose some areas we need to work on, and internalize some very positive improvements guys have made individually in their games. Stay tuned, this Spring is sure to be entertaining."
Rollins will open dual match season on February 2 at home against Ave Maria.Â
