Quotes of the Match
Head Coach Lee Taylor Walker
“With the long road trip, weather forcing us to play indoors on some really fast courts, Marie being out with injury and us playing with new doubles lineup could have been the perfect storm for a bad match. But the girls didn’t miss a beat, came out with a great attitude and had a solid performance. I am proud of their effort and ready for a much improved Iowa State team on Sunday.â€
