Coach Ann Daniell summed up the fall season stating, “We could not be more proud of these kids and the way they played. They battled back after being down in doubles 2-5 and tied the match up at 5 all. The Tigers fell short in singles. We had nine matches that went to third set tie breakers. The kids played their hearts out. It was not a bad showing after losing nine players from last year.” Daniell and Len Turner address Tiger players following the completion of the fall season.
