Quote From Head Coach Constantine Ananiadis
"We fought our hearts out today, but it wasn't meant to be.  We need to start believing in ourselves more and also be willing to try things mid-match in order to stop the bleeding and shift the momentum back in our favor.  Lots of positives from today and we look forward to our first outdoor match next week in Florida!
