"Today was a very special day for a lot of reasons. We raised a lot of money for heart awareness and celebrated a tremendous cause. We swept the doubles and set the tone and Addie, Jordan, Kat and U (Untermeyer) were dominant in singles. That's three wins in a row for the ladies, bringing our record over 500, where we belong. Bring on Rochester tomorrow."
