Coach Jernigan Says…

"The girls tried their best today and fought hard but being a player down right now just was too much to overcome today. We were down 2-0 before we even started today by only having 5 players. Congrats to freshman Kristi Cooper as she continues to win her dual matches and moves to 3-0 for the spring season."
