From Coach Doug Neagle
"This was a solid win against a very tough South Region opponent in UWF," Neagle said. "While the score was 6-1, this was a battle across the board. So proud of this team's fight and determination this entire spring break trip, but especially today. We knew we had a challenge today and our team supported each other to the end. We are focused now on our final match of the trip, on our way back home against Wayne State. We want to finish strong!"

Up Next: En route back to Fort Lauderdale in conclusion of spring break in Pensacola, NSU will meet No. 25 Wayne State (14-4) at the USTA National Campus in Lake Nona on Monday. The Warriors won 10 straight up until a pair of consecutive losses in the Sunshine State to No. 3 Saint Leo and Keiser.
