DBU HEAD COACH WADE MORGAN ON A SUCCESSFUL WEEKEND
"This weekend was a very physical test, every match was a knock down drag out fight. The girls did amazing bouncing back after a tough loss to open the weekend and get two wins to finish against two very solid teams. Doubles played a crucial roll in both wins. We are still focused on improving right now to prepare for the season getting tougher in coming weeks."
