Coach's Corner
When asked about today's result, Head Coach Daniel Finn had this to say: "The first match of the tournament is always one of the most difficult ones. Especially when you come in with a bye and the other team has already played one round. I thought the girls did a good job of handling their emotions, settling in, and taking care of the job today. UNOH came out loose with nothing to lose and tried to make it difficult on us early. In the end, we did a good job of securing the doubles point and then brought the intensity in singles, and it showed in the scoreboard. These tournaments always have to be dealt with one day at a time. You can't win anything on the first day, but you can certainly lose it. Now we have to get out of the sun, rest up, and get ready for another one tomorrow."
