Assistant Coach
Jordan Rucks
"Great win for the ladies. Our top-four played solid tennis in the heat and got the job done going 60-5 for total games won on the day."
"With a short lineup for St. Thomas, Bartimer and Simek could not get in a singles match and Bartimer/Laub could not get in a doubles match, however I have full confidence they would have performed just as well and gotten the win on their respective courts."
