Quote from the Match
Head Coach Lee Taylor Walker
"We are one step closer to what we are preparing for. The team looked sharp in doubles and then a little tired toward the end of singles. It will be nice to get home tonight, rest and practice a few days before leaving for the conference tournament on Wednesday. We know we have West Virginia again on Thursday and because some of the matches were competitive we will need to be alert and ready. Aleksa (Cveticanin) was the most focused today and only dropped four games combined in singles and doubles. Marie (Norris) and Donika (Bashota) also played some very confident tennis. We've played a very tough schedule and it was definitely the toughest since I've been here. Now is the time we use it to our advantage. There's nothing we haven't seen. We've played the best and we've been in position to beat the best and come up just short. Now is the time we put it all together and have a run at the Big 12 Championship."
