Thoughts From Coach Carlisle

"Super proud of the girls for stepping up and getting the win when we were down a player.  We had a great come back from 1-4 down at number two doubles to get the doubles point and that really sparked us going into singles.  We showed a lot of composure in the tight games and on the big points and that has not always been our strength this year so that was huge for us.  This was definitely a total team win and I am really happy that we were able to pull it out."
