WHAT HEAD COACH SEAN MCCAFFREY SAID
"We had a really good hard fought win today. Coming off the 4-3 loss yesterday, we needed to make sure we did not have a let up in regards to showing our fight. Coming out in doubles and winning all three courts against very strong Louisiana teams gave us a good deal of momentum going into singles. Paula, Luisa and Liz did a great job in sealing up the win as they each won in straight sets. We will hop on our flight back to the Boro and begin preparing for our matches next week."
