COACH TAMI MILLER'S COMMENTS

Although [Saturday] did not end the way we hoped, we are pleased with some of the things we accomplished. We started the match strong and really started three of the four sets aggressively. We cut our unforced errors nearly in half and found ourselves in some long rallies. Our fight and confidence continue to grow and we are looking forward to competing in the tournament next week.
