Scouting Daemen
The Wildcats of Daemen College enter tonight's cross-divisional matchup with a 2-1 record after picking up wins Molloy College and Oswego State in the early part of the season.  Today's match for the Wildcats is their home opener, which should serve them well, as Daemen went 7-4 at their home courts last season.  Karli Hollins is a player to watch for Daemen, as the Orchard Park, NY native has an unblemished 3-0 record at first singles this season.
