COACH SHIGLEY SAYS…

• “The girls only lost seven games in nine matches. It was good to get Lizzie Bauss back into the lineup after an injury. She struggled a bit to find her shots with this long layoff from playing singles. I’m confident she will just get better as the week progresses. The girls looked really sharp tonight. We are looking forward to the challenge of defending the title.”
