COACH'S COMMENT: "Proud of the way the guys started the season against a well-coached and undefeated team," Calvin head tennis coach
John Ross said. "That was good competition for us and we'd love to get to play Capital more often in the future and maybe start a little bit of a rivalry. Glad to get a performance like this under our belts before we head to Wisconsin for a big week for us against three strong teams (Wisconsin Lutheran, MSOE and Ripon)."
NEXT UP: Calvin men's tennis returns to action on Thursday, February 16, when it starts a three-match swing through Wisconsin with a match at Wisconsin Lutheran College at 12:30 PM (CST).
