Thoughts from Coach Phil Carlisle
"As well as we played on Wednesday, we probably played even better today, at least in singles. Stanton is arguably the best NAIA team we've played against this year top to bottom, but we gave them absolutely everything they could handle and pushed them to their limits. I couldn't be more proud of the way we competed today and I love that the girls are starting to see the fruits of playing against so many good teams this year."
