HEAD COACH CHAD BERRYHILL

"Really proud of our girls today. We knew the doubles point was going to play a crucial role and our players stepped up big when they needed to. It was impressive for us to get the doubles sweep and that momentum carried into singles. We had three very tough matches at the top which we expected. We have a few things to clean up for sure but overall I think we learned a lot and competed well today. Happy for our team and how we continue to develop from day to day. This can be a special team!"
