QUOTABLE:
Jaco Keyser, Head Coach:

• "A great win for the girls today. Tulane is tough, and they serve as a great benchmark for us, because most of the time, they are a bit too strong for us. But I like the way the girls stayed the course, especially in doubles, and how they stayed steady when Tulane pushed back in singles. We'll enjoy this one, rest up and be ready for another strong match next week."
