A QUOTE FROM COACH SNYDER

"We haven't played against an outside opponent in four months.  Today was a good first day in that we were able to get the entire team an opportunity to compete.  A bit of nerves as expected, but overall a solid first outing.  Looking forward to finally starting our spring season and playing others besides ourselves."

UP NEXT

The Warriors will play Lawrence Tech at noon on Thursday at the Franklin Racquet Club in Southfield.
