• From head coach Curt Speerschneider: "Good to close out the regular season with some wins.  We had some mental and physical ups and downs throughout the weekend, which is relatively normal after a long season.  These players have been putting it out there since early February.  The hard work is about to pay off though as we get into the post-season.  That's what we train for and that's when we achieve our goals.  We're looking forward to playing our best tennis next weekend."
