"Good gritty Big East road win today. Â We rebounded very well after a disappointing match yesterday. Â Elena and Maria come up huge for us in doubles, clinching from 5-2 down. Â We were able to relax a little after being up 1-0 and played very confident singles getting up 4-0 quick. Very proud of everyone for how they competed today. Â We're excited to make it back home and play our last two matches of the regular season at Marquette!"
