On rallying to defeat San Francisco 4-2 on Saturday…
"We started slow and flat in doubles and San Francisco used that to their advantage. We bounced back quickly in singles though and embraced challenges and opportunities. We must start doubles with more energy and aggressiveness so we can take a bit of pressure off ourselves going into singles. We are growing and I'm proud of our team for competing well in singles."
