QUOTE FROM COACH:
"I'm very happy with the women's performance against Binghamton today. With it being our first spring match outside, it took a little bit to get adjusted, but it was a hard-fought match," head coach Steve Mauro said. "I'm very happy with how the team stepped up without a few starters the past couple matches due to injury and illness. They were able to pick up the slack and get the win."

NEXT UP:
The Owls will have less than 24 hours to prepare for their next match as they are scheduled to play Penn tomorrow, March 18. The match is scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m. at the Hecht Tennis Center.
