Head Coach Brenda Gallegos Thoughts
"We had some decent results at our regional tournament, I'm a little disappointed with our overall results in doubles but feel like we competed well for the most part."
"More than anything we gained quality matches and opportunities to play good matches against teams we don't get to see in the spring.I was pleased with Marissa Baca's play in the tournament and feel like she has turned the corner and is playing smart tennis at the moment."
"Ella Mora proved her tenacity and willingness to never quit on the court this tournament. She is a talented player with tons of upside. I'm excited to watch our team perform at CSU to finish out our fall season."
