Head Coach Bobby Pennington
"The ladies went a combined 30-1 this weekend, winning six singles flights and three doubles flights. It could not have been a better start to the season in all aspects. The play, attitude, focus and chemistry throughout the team were insane. We realize we need to step up our games for the West Point Invitational next weekend."
