HEAD COACH ANGELO ANASTOPOULO
"It was a great effort by the team. Losing the doubles point after having a match point put us in a tough position. We were making a run at the end of the match but ran out of time. I couldn't be prouder of the heart and effort the team displayed this season. We will miss our four seniors Catalina Medici, Ava Turner, Anastasia Palaska and Eva Nyikos. They have provided great leadership and always lead by example. Even with the difficulties of competing this season, it's always hard to see it come to an end."
 
UP NEXT
