FROM THE SOURCE
Head Coach Bobby Pennington 

"Great way to open up the fall season for the ladies! We took care of the doubles point, winning in two with three wins in singles. Addie, Emme, Amelia and Natalie tore it up.

"I have the utmost respect for my old assistant Jeff and his Le Moyne squad. They were picked first in their conference so we knew it would be a battle. We have a great group of ladies with a culture second to none and some lofty goals."
