POST-MATCH COMMENTS

Madelyn Brown – With it being Senior Day, all of our spirits were really high. It's been good having everybody on the court cheering each other on. We came out with a win for our Senior Day, so that's exciting as always. I think the three seniors; Morgan, Jenna and I, can't believe this is already our final match at home. It's been a good day overall.

Jenna Kuntz – It was a really good match. We came out hoping to win and we did, so I'm proud of the girls. I'm really grateful that my team was all here for Senior Day. It means a lot to me. I'm glad that my family was here to support me and I'm glad that I got to be out there with Madelyn and Morgan.

Morgan Oconitrillo – The match went really well. I was in a good mental state and I really enjoyed having all of the encouragement and positivity, not only from my teammates, but my family as well. As far as Senior Day, it has been a really fun day. It's sort of bittersweet in a sense, but it has been a really good day.

Coach Matt Moore – I was so proud of how our players rebounded from a tough loss last week. They executed flawlessly and picked up a big conference win on Senior Night!
