"I thought we put in a pretty complete overall performance today. I liked our energy in doubles and I thought we executed well in the early stages on all courts. We carried the momentum of the doubles point into singles play and captured all six first sets. When we had to navigate some tricky moments in the match, we did a terrific job of supporting one another. Our positivity was contagious. We are a young team and still have much to learn, but this is a hard-working group, and I see us improving each week."
