Coach's Corner
Head Coach
Daniel Finn said, "I am really proud of the effort of our team. Today was another hot one and all the girls came out and battled. Daniela played her heart out but just came up short. Megane played yet another solid match and were excited to see her compete tomorrow for a championship. I'm really proud of all the girls but especially Megane and Daniela with how they have come together in doubles with just a few short weeks of playing together.
