Coach's Corner
"This was a big day for
Selina Pichler, who moved into the No. 1 singles spot to pick up some good wins for us. We had several players step up to meet challenges. This is the reason why you recruit 10 players to create a deep roster. I am super proud of every player who participated in this match," said Head Coach
Chase Hodges.
