"I'm really pleased with how we finished out the tournament," head coach
Dustin Hinson said. "I feel like we are starting to find our match rhythm. Match experience is what we needed and I'm very happy that we are starting to show what we can do. We really had a great day on Sunday by winning all of the doubles and singles matches we played. We took down some tough opponents from very good teams throughout the tournament, including Fresno State, UC Davis, Saint Mary's, Santa Clara, Sac. State, and Seattle U. We look to continue the momentum into the Gonzaga Tournament next weekend."
