"Right now we are not a very good
team," said 18th-year XULA head coach
Alan Green, whose men were NAIA national
tournament runner-up in 2016, 2017 and 2019. "We are below our standard,
and we need to get better quickly. We have the potential to do so, but right
now we are not there. The good thing is we have a lot of tennis ahead of us
to prove our worth."
