“It was great to see the girls step up and compete tonight. I thought this was easily the best we’ve come out of the gates, and it carried over into singles’ play,” said Grace head coach Scott Moore. “We are excited to ride this momentum into a big match on Saturday.”

The Lady Lancers will head to St. Francis on Saturday for a 3 p.m. match.
