WHAT HEAD COACH SEAN MCCAFFREY SAID
"What a great team win for the Eagles today. We have been so close so many times this season. We kept on talking about working on the process of improving and developing our games. The results will happen. And today we took a big step towards our goal. It's tough to come back and win a match after dropping a doubles point. I believe our doubles can be amongst the best in the conference, we just need to have all three teams come together each day. Rebounding after a tough doubles match can be a challenge, but we did. Troy had a good deal of momentum but we were able to cool them off a bit with Paula, Mila, Luisa and then Liz clinching. 
I'm very proud of the team and the fight they showed us all today. Being able to win a match 4-3 is great. Being able to win a match after dropping the doubles point is fantastic. Being able to do this on senior day and after losing four of the first six sets is simply amazing. "
