Thoughts from Coach Carlisle (after Menlo match)                      
"It is hard to put this one into words.  Easily one of the best wins I have ever been a part of.  We struggled in doubles again and admittedly I thought it would be too steep of a hill to climb from there, but the guys battled like I have never seen before and somehow pulled it off.  We are still learning and growing and trying to figure some things out, but this team has so much heart and fight in them.  They never gave up today, even when we were down 3-1 needing to win the last three matches in third sets, you could just see the belief on their faces. The guys off the court made a massive difference today, the energy was off the charts and we needed every ounce of it.  I could not be more proud of this entire team!"
