MONROEVILLE, Pa. (Feb. 23, 2015) –Â
"It was great to see the girls come out and get the doubles point. We have been struggling a bit this year with out doubles and have been focusing a lot on it in practice. So it was a good get that momentum going into singles. In our singles matches, I was pleased overall with how we are playing. We continue to improve each match which is what our focus has been this Spring. We'll continue to work hard this week as we get ready to face two tough team in Philly."
