From the Head Honcho
"Really great effort today," said head coach Jeff Wyshner. "Hard-fought doubles point with Carolyn and Mia rallying from 1-3 and 2-4. Quality play from them and a really good top-20 win at 1 doubles. Singles was solid from the very beginning. Clinched quickly with good efforts and then the others, especially Anna at No. 2, kept it going to the end. One more to go on Sunday."
