Coach Cummins Comments: "Kalamazoo is always strong. They have won their conference 63 consecutive years and have won 9 or 10 NCAA Division 3 National Championships in the last 30 years. Our guys competed well. With the exception of #5 and #6 singles the match was very close. Our top four showed up ready to play. We are learning that it takes six guys showing up in both singles and doubles to beat the national level programs. Kalamazoo is a national level program with a ton of history and tradition. This match came at a good time – we needed another good test before our Florida swing."
