Head Coach Jamal Henry reflected on the team's performance, sharing, "We jumped out of the gate and really started off the match well in doubles. I thought that momentum from doubles would carry over into singles, but we came out flat to start singles...(and) took control when we needed to. We're still growing and learning as a young team and each match we gain valuable learning experiences to take into the next matches."
