Thoughts From Coach Carlisle
"We came out a little tight in doubles, but that is to be expected in the first match of the season.Once we got into singles we settled down quite a bit and played much better.It was not our prettiest match, but I thought the girls really battled well against some tricky opponents.It is always great to start the season with a win!"
