From The Sidelines
"It was tough to lose the doubles point today and I thought we had a good shot at getting it today. Our No. 1 doubles team played really well and definitely set the tone for us today. We were able to get off to some good leads in singles, but we ended up having some tough matches. Anastasia stepped up and took care of business pretty quickly, and Ola put up a good fight to pick up a big win for us on her court. Now we need to turn our focus to practice and get ready for our two matches next weekend." – Associate Head Coach Frank Polito
