Thoughts from Coach Carlisle
 "I'm so proud of the girls for grinding out a tough win today. The conditions were definitely tougher than we expected and we're still struggling to get healthy, but the girls battled extremely well and got the win. Taking the doubles point was huge for us. It looked for a long time like we were going down 0-1, but we turned it around at #1 doubles and that took a lot of pressure off of us. We're definitely being tested every day right now, but I know it's going to make us a lot stronger in the end."
