"Today we knew it was going to be our toughest match of our spring break so there was an extra motivation to give our best on our last day competing here. We started losing the doubles but the team never lost the faith in winning the series and I think that having that positive mindset was the key to turn around the series and win all our singles."
Alejandro Caceres I Men's Tennis Player
"The win today was awesome, seeing the girls rally together and support one another was only possible because of this week. I love each one of these girls on this team and seeing us grow closer together has been amazing. We fought and battled together so hard this week, and I am so proud.
