Quotables
- "To have four teams in finals tomorrow is something we don't take for granted," said head coach Beck Roghaar. "There's some good players here and some good teams. We found a way to get through matches today in a couple of positions where our backs were against the wall and we needed to come up with points. That's the mark of a team that is really good."
- "Ryan [Kershner] has been so solid for us," said Roghaar. "I've been really impressed with her all fall. She's hit the ground running, and for a freshman we don't feel like she's had to play too much catch-up. To see it come out on the courts isn't really a surprise for us, but I think for her it's an amazing confidence builder."
- Pauline Ernstberger and Holly Stewart swept their matchup, winning doubles before each taking a straight-set victory in singles.
- Freshman Ryan Kershner cruised in her White-flight singles match, winning 6-1, 6-1.
