QUOTES FROM COACH KEYSER
"We had a big improvement in doubles today. No big secret other than better execution of the basic fundamentals that leads to a solid base and better quality of play. In singles, too many points were being leaked to play high-quality matches, but the girls battled hard. We're not quite where we need to be as a team, but great reference points we can take from this weekend as we get back on the practice courts."
