THEY SAID IT
Head coach Jaco Keyser
- On today's performance: "It was a good win. You can see from their record this is a good team. It is a team we lost to last year so to take care of them in the fashion we did today is a great sign moving forward. It was important for our girls on courts one and two to bounce back the way they did. Those two have been here for a while so they understand that sometimes the opponents just come out and play a good quality game but they stuck to what they were supposed to be doing. More importantly though, even further down the lineup, we are starting to show signs of a good team with good doubles. The bottom of the lineup is strong so we just have to play those top three spots the best that we can."
