THEY SAID IT
Coach Brooks on the team's success in Arizona…
"I'm so impressed with our team. To win five matches in one weekend is a feat within itself, but to knock off the No. 16 team in the country in an all out battle in the process is quite an accomplishment. I couldn't be more proud of how we competed and how truly an overall team effort it was. I think we proved just how tough we are to ourselves and others this trip."
