Coach's comments:
"Doubles was a big difference maker when you look at this match compared to the match against Huntingdon. Josie in particular really placed well and gave us a boost. The momentum going into singles helped psychologically as we played more lose. Diggs and Smith were able to put a less than stellar doubles match behind them. Calli had a strong singles match against a very scrappy opponent. Even though Ebeth (Shwaiko) lost her match, she put forth a good effort against one of Covenant's strongest players over the last few years. Proud of the girls and this was well earned"
Next up for MC is conference foe Belhaven, Friday at 11 AM in Maryville.
