QUOTING SASHA SCHMID
“This is a solid group of young women who are trying hard to improve every day. I thought their reflection after yesterday’s matches and the responsibility each player took in singles today to make productive changes and improvements was impressive. I am looking forward to our final day of competing for the fall season tomorrow.”
