Quotables
- "These fall events are really critical for our players' growth and development," said head coach Beck Roghaar. "We're asking a lot of them to do some different things and install some parts into their game that we know are going to help us maximize in the spring and be playing our best tennis."
- "To be able to see some really strong results coming in with two of our players in the semifinals at the top flight at such a tough tournament was exciting to see," said Roghaar.
Top Broncos
- Holly Stewart went 2-1 in the top-singles flight.
- Freshman Ryan Kershner went 3-1 in the Charlie singles draw, winning the consolation final.
