Head Coach
Daniel Finn said, "I'm so proud of this ladies team for their performance during this tournament. This event is always a complete grind both mentally and physically. Having and all-Keiser Final in both singles and doubles speaks volumes to how much this team came out and competed from the start to finish. They even competed very hard against each other and pushed themselves to the limits. Both Sarah and Anais competed in a war for the singles championship and then had to turn around and play in doubles. This is a special group and I'm excited to watch the whole group continue to grow and go compete with the champions in the Oracle Cup National Championships."
