FROM HEAD COACH SARA O’LEARY
“We are really excited to get our first match of the season completed. We were thrilled to get back out there and we had great fan support today. So many people came out to support us and that means a lot. We are very appreciative. The season has been all about preparation. It is a bunch of tournaments (in the fall), but they are all individual tournaments, so to get back out there and play next to your teammates was something the team was really looking forward to. I thought they played with a lot of pride, a lot of joy and a lot of connectedness between each other, which is something we have been building toward. We are looking forward to competing at the ITA Kickoff next weekend at Kansas.”
