THEY SAID IT
Head coach Jaco Keyser
- On today's results: "It was a great day for the girls. There were a lot of potential pitfalls with the weather and stopping then starting or going indoors, but I feel like we handled the situation like any good team would. Winning more matches than we lost at this tournament against high-level individual match ups is a great indicator that we are moving in the right direction as a team. I am excited with regards to where we are as a team and looking forward to improving as we build toward the upcoming spring season."
