Quote from head coach Elizabeth Ferris
"Great team win today! I thought UCSD came out aggressive in doubles, especially at the number one spot. Hats off to them for a great match. With a few more reps number ones will be right there. Courts two and three played with teamwork and discipline. It was nice to see everyone start their singles playing their games and executing with confidence. We were pushed but we stayed with our game plans."

Quote from Arianna Tilbury
"I'm really proud of how everyone fought today! UCSD has a strong team and everyone played with tenacity and focus! Singles was challenging but what helped was having good footwork and maintaining intensity. Let's go lady 'Eaters!"

Quote from Jenna Schlatter
"Before the match, I told myself to go out there and play my game. I took my own advice and I really executed it in both doubles and singles. I'm glad I was able to clinch and I'm very proud of all the girls today!"

Quote from Flora Amiri
"Today was a solid win for our team. We managed to play as a team, by starting strong and finishing strong. I hope this energy carries onto our future matches. Here we go lady 'Eaters!"
