Thoughts from Coach Carlisle
"Definitely a tough one today.  Westcliff took it to us in doubles, but we definitely battled back in singles, especially at the top spots.  We have to get doubles figured out over these next couple weeks.  That has been an area of strength for us historically, but over our last few matches we have really struggled.  If we can sort that out and continue to play well in singles we will definitely have a chance to do well at the conference tournament."

Up Next
The Firestorm will hit the road for their final two regular season matches- starting at Menlo on April 5.
