From the Coach:Â "
This was a hard fought team victory. I have watched Devon grind out wins over the year, but today's comeback was one for the ages. Andrew and Hemberth earned a key doubles win and seeing them claim singles matches was super exciting. Looking forward to a great spring with this group and the return of some of our soccer players to the roster." –
