It was great; it was very competitive. I think both teams had opportunities to win. That's a credit to (the Panthers). They played much better in singles. I think our girls showed a lot of grit coming back and playing like they did in doubles; I think it showed great resilience on their part.

They knew it was on their shoulders when it was like 7-all. I was really proud of Tara and Sarah, they did a great job today.

It was just good to get started. Everybody got a little taste of what we have to offer and we're well on our way.

The girls are getting better and they are working really hard.

Everyone had a chance to play and that is always a good thing.

It was a very good match. We have a big match coming up and it looks like we're ready.

All three of the girls at the top are fairly steady. They have been starting for four years and all three have worked hard to get to this point.

This was a good win. I am really pleased the girls played as well as they did.

They started off a little slow, but as the game moved along, they picked it up. They played extremely well. This was a good win.
