Head Coach
Daniel Finn said, "I thought all the girls did a great job the entire weekend of pushing themselves and competing for every match regardless of the situation or how strong the opponent. We definitely saw some things we can work on and that is why we play these tournaments to help us prepare for the spring, but all in all, I'm happy with the performance of the girls and the way they put on a dominant performance against some strong competition. This was not an easy event; they faced some tough competition, and the energy in the building wasn't always the easiest to handle. I really thought mentally the girls did a great job of focusing and coming through when they had to to make sure they got the job done. Really proud of the mental fortitude the girls showed especially in singles this weekend."
