Coach's Corner
"Great win to kick off our season against a very talented Gordon team," said Emerson head coach Burke Paxton. "I am really happy with how we fought our nerves in doubles and came out with the sweep, and I thought people really trusted their game plan in singles. I want to give a special shout out to Kendi Bishpam who played in her first match in over a year since injuring her shoulder. She played awesome, and it was great to see all her hard work pay off."
