Both teams are a rank lower than us. But they are still threats because they are in our conference and have pushed us in the past. |
Both were playing outstanding tennis. Marion did not choke or play poorly. There just was not anything we could have done. |
I thought both teams showed up ready to play. This is our recovery week, and not everybody's playing at their best. But this win got us back into gear. |
It was a very good start. She started the season 6-0, and now we're hoping she can finish without a loss. |
It was our first match (since the Cardinal). It was definitely good for us to play. I agree not everybody was ready because it was a recovery week. |
Last year, she won 15 matches in a row, and fell into a rut this past fall. But she had a great attitude and has been working hard. |
Stephanie and (Cristina) were both struggling earlier with illness. But they are great friends which translates to great chemistry on the doubles court. |
We came out on one and two doubles and didn't play within our game. We calmed down and played within our game in singles. We have pushed Stanford more than any other team and we will just get more confident in the next month and a half. |
We don't foresee any problems (against Santa Clara). Of course they are a little stronger than last year. We have decided not to take any game for granted either. |
We had to shift our lineup because of injuries. We proved we could adjust to the environment even though they may not be our strongest pairs. We will go back to our original lineup as soon as our players all get healthy. But right now we are just concentrating on this competition, rest and then prepare for the weekend. |
We have had more than enough injuries for a year. We have been able to reshuffle the lineup and adjust. But we hope to be able to play our original lineup. |
