Quoting Assistant Coach Maria Sorbello
“All the girls played really well today. I was very happy with how well the girls are using what we are practicing. It was also great to see Fabi (freshman Fabienne Schmidt) compete in her first college match and see what she can do on the court. It was a great lead into the Ohio Valley Regional Tournament next week.”
