"This was a great performance by the team today. We were on the wrong end of two close matches down here and this one could've gotten away from us. Â We battled and played with so much heart today. Over 100 F on court and we didn't quit. Â Elise and Emma fought off two match points in doubles and got us the clinch that was crucial. Â Aiyana did a great job winning in 2 sets and Elise played such a good match to get us to 3. Â Emma and Elena battled so hard and came up just short. Â Luciana gives me everything each time on court and she came up with the huge clinch for us today. Â Proud of the team for this win and we'll keep working hard to finish the season strong."
