From The Sidelines
"I really like the fight I'm seeing in this team, I think the sky is the limit with all of the competitiveness that this team plays with. Because of that, we will be able to keep ourselves in any match, and put ourselves in a position to be able to win every match we play this spring."

"We played really well in singles, which was highlighted by the fact that we lost four first sets, but rebounded to send three of those matches into three-set matches. One of these matches came from Lara, who was able to finish strong despite getting off to a slow start, which I was very proud of today. Siân and Gaby played solid matches from start to finish, and were really in control for their entire match."

"With this being just our second match of the season, we were able to pick out some things that we need to continue to improve on, which we will do moving forward this weekend, and in the coming weeks at practice." – Head Coach Frank Polito
