When asked about the match, Head Coach
Daniel Finn said, "Great job by the ladies today. I am really happy with the energy they brought right out of the gate, and it carried them throughout. Jumping out to big leads in doubles early on was huge today, and taking the momentum to run out in singles. We spoke a lot going into the match to make sure we controlled the energy, and I thought the girls did a great job of that today. Conditions definitely weren't easy today. happy to get the 4-0 win and get off the court so we can rest up for the semifinals tomorrow."
