COACH SCOTT FOSLER'S COMMENTS
[Sunday] was one of the first great days of tennis outside and a great win for the Ravens. I am particularly proud of the sportsmanship of all of our players against a rebuilding team in their first year back in the conference. Earlham's top two players are very strong and I am also proud of our No. 1 doubles team for grinding out a tough win. Our No. 1 singles got off to a slow start, but was able to refocus and finish in dominating fashion. Our No. 2 singles was in control throughout the match against a solid opponent with precision, hard-hit ground strokes.
