HEARING FROM HEAD COACH SASHA SCHMID
“I think the team had to respond to a big test tonight. I’m proud of the way they stepped in and fought for the match today. I have a lot of respect for Iowa State, because they played with a lot of spirit and won the energy battle to start the match. I’m also proud of my kids for responding and taking the energy back in some crucial moments in singles. As a team, we held the rope together.”
