QUOTE FROM COACH GRUINDELINGH
"There were some great signs today against arguably the stiffest competition of the weekend. It was good for the girls to see that when we execute the basic fundamentals and defend the court, we have the potential to be good. We have plenty to improve on but we are inching in the right direction."

UP NEXT
The Jaguars return to action next weekend at the ITA Southern Regional Championships in Oxford, Miss.
