Quote from Coach Anastopoulo: "That was a great college tennis match. Coastal Carolina deserves a lot of credit, we thought we had them put away early in singles but Coastal battled until the last match. Coach Catherine already has her team playing well and will be contenders to win the Sun Belt. We showed a lot of character, and some close matches to really pull out those. I hope we can continue that next weekend with a very tough Kennesaw State and Georgia Southern teams coming to town"

Up Next: Charleston will host Kennesaw State on Friday, February 17 with first serve slated in at 1:30 p.m.
