“The girls played really well in the final day of competition.  They knew that every match was going to be close and there were ready for it.  We split sets in 4 out of our 6 singles matches and came out on top in two of those matches.  Every girl battled hard, and I was very proud of them.  They competed well and had positive attitudes.  We know what we need to work on as we wind down the fall and head into the spring matches,” said Coach Kristin Lusk.
