Coach's Corner

Head Coach Doug Neagle – It was a hard fought battle against a top-10 opponent and it was our fourth time traveling to Orlando in the last month. I’m proud of this team for showing toughness and picking each other up when needed. We have had a tough schedule and March was a grind. These ladies have become road warriors. A much needed weekend off will be nice and then it’s back to work preparing to play a very tough Embry-Riddle on the road.

What's Next

No. 2 Nova Southeastern returns to Sunshine State Conference action on Wednesday, April 3rd, taking on Embry-Riddle in Daytona Beach, Fla. First serve is scheduled for 2 p.m. To stay up-to-date on Sharks Women’s Tennis, be sure to follow on Instagram and X at NSU_WTennis.
