"Everyone started pretty nervous because it was Simon [Thibodeau's] former team and a big challenge for us. Every match was close and almost everyone went to three sets, so it wasn't clear until the end who was going to win it."
"It all came down to my match. I was at the beginning of the third set which all the players and coaches came to my court and started screaming and cheering for me like crazy. So I knew that my match would decide everything, but I stayed calm and really wanted to win. It really was fun to play out there."

"Arizona was a very exciting match because there were a lot of feelings and nerves flowing through all of us. We all knew that this was one of the toughest matches of the season, so we had to bring our toughest game. And I believe we all rose to the occasion."
"The whole thing came down to Vlatka at No. 4. She showed what the "Bulldog" spirit is all about when she came back from behind to clinch the match. The whole day was an emotional roller coaster, but the pride of victory was definitely worth all the stress."
