Coach's Thoughts
"The girls did a great job of fighting back in the singles after a tough outing in the doubles," said Bruins head coach Rick Cruz. "The most encouraging part of the win was pulling out all of the three-setters. I believe this is the type of match that will make us stronger as we head into next weekend and the rest of the season."
