HEAR FROM HEAD COACH SASHA SCHMID
“I am proud for the run that Dai had, making it to the quarters with an elite group of players. I’m happy for her, she learned a lot and I think it will take a lot of confidence from this. We have some really productive things to work on away from the event. Overall, it was good for Jess, Poko and Pia to compete and have a great weekend of competitive matches. We’re going to get home and get back to practice as we have a lot to work to do before our final event in November.”

The Hawkeyes will have their final fall competition in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the Las Vegas International tournament starting Nov. 10.
