COACH SHIGLEY SAYS…

“The women’s team ran into a determined Cumberland team and we fell just short, losing 5-4. We won easily at the bottom of our lineup but Cumberland was just too good at the top. We have to get better at doubles. We need to be up 2-1 or 3-0 after doubles and we just didn’t get the job done today. We will grow from this and get better.”
