Thoughts From Coach Carlisle
"Much better start today, but we still couldn't grab the doubles point unfortunately. We battled them well in singles and managed to pick up a couple very good wins. Emmanuel has one of the better teams we'll play all year so overall I'm really pleased with this result. I also want to give major props to Hannah and Halle for stepping in today and playing really well against good opponents. I loved their effort and energy today."
