Jaco Keyser, Head Coach:

• "Very gritty win today for the girls. Samford is having a great year, and for the majority of singles, had the best of the contest. Very positive sign that we dug in and stayed the course and flipped a couple of matches. We are definitely competing at a high level, and things might get very interesting if we can have more sustained execution within matches. Need to rest up and get ready for a tough Tulane team."
