Thoughts From Coach Carlisle
"The overall score might not look any different, but the individual matches definitely were. We started very slow in doubles, I think there was still some carry over from last night, but we really found our feet in singles and played much better tennis. At the end of the day, this match wasn't about the result. Mostly I wanted to see how our team would respond after a tough night last night and they did a great job today. We need to find a little more competitive fire, a little more grit, but I think this weekend helped with that and I'm excited to see how we build on that moving forward."

Up Next
GSAC action awaits the Firestorm next as they will host Westmont on Friday at the Paseo Racquet Center.  The women are scheduled for a 1:00 pm first serve.
