QUOTES FROM COACH KEYSER
On the match: "Bad start in doubles today, really bad start and some of it's how we came out. We expected to roll through this team but they have some good girls and it's a few things we need to smooth out, but I liked the way we started out in singles and we played some good tennis towards the end."
