"This was arguably the toughest non-conference schedule stretch in my 13 years. We were fortunate to have five straight winning season and the non-conference schedule has been brutal and challenging."
"We have had a ton of adversity with injuries and illness and we dug down and found a way today. We had a full team effort starting in doubles and carrying through in singles. We look forward to this being a catalyst for a strong second half and many more W's to come and tearing through league play."
