"I really thought we came out and played better doubles today versus last weekend," said head coach Ryan Tomlinson. "We had some different combos and won the doubles point again." We took a step forward from that standpoint. I told the team that there aren't many 'Perfect 10's'. We won ugly today and that's good to see as a young team." 

"VALPO played good tennis but I'm proud of the way our kids stepped up in the big moments. I loved to see the fight from Kaitlyn and Karin as they lost first sets and then played extremely well to turn those matches around. Great start and we will get back to work preparing for St. Bonaventure." 

The Broncos head back on the road and travel to New York to take on St. Bonaventure in a double-header next Saturday.
