TOP QUOTE
"We had our teeth in all the matches. Their shot tolerance is a little higher than ours. If we can continue to improve by staying tighter and running more offensive plays, the match would be a 5-4 result," said Endicott women's tennis head coach Anthony D'Angelo.
BEYOND THE BOX SCORE
- The Gulls end the regular season 32-16 in doubles (.667) and 58-37 in singles (.610).
- Berler leads the Gulls with eight singles victories this season.
WHAT'S NEXT
Endicott (9-3) has earned the No. 1 seed in next week's Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) playoffs. The official playoff bracket will be announced by the CCC next week.
