THE ROCKHILL REPORT
 
"We played just well enough to get the win today", stated Head Coach Dan Rockhill. "I believe Chestnut Hill out competed us but we are so talented that we were able to overcome their grit."
 
"I am pleased that we were able to play all rostered players today and show off our depth", said Rockhill. "I am happy for Theo, who picked up his first with in a Spartan uniform. He is going to be a great player here. I also thought Bert and Henry did a solid job increasing our lead quickly in the singles."
 
"We are going to need to fight a bit harder if we want to compete with the other squads on the schedule this fall", remarked Rockhill. "We have the personnel to build on last season’s success but the matches will not win themselves. We need to chop wood and carry water day after day."
