Head coach [NAME] praised the team's effort following the match: "The ladies really came to play today. We've had a long absence on the court in dual match format, so it was nice to get back out there and compete, after ITA's. Each day on the court is about taking another step forward to where we want to be come conference time in the Spring, and we did that today."
