GLEGHORN PERSPECTIVE

 

• "The crowd and atmosphere was electric in a big match today. Thank you fans for coming out in force!!! The women played their third straight  complete match. I couldn't ask for any more than their level of intensity and focus as they went out and took care of business in the first round of the conference tournament. It was a complete and total team effort."
• "We started off well with all three of the doubles teams coming out firing. It really set the tone for a great day. In the singles, we were able to win in straight sets with no one giving up more than three games in a set. Ellie Snider had a tremendous day winning 6-0, 6-2. Emily Connolly continues to lead the team down at the # 6 position in the lineup with a 6-1, 6-0 win.
