Everyone learned how to cope. When one person was out, we were able to fill in that role. Before we did not understand it was just a matter of teamwork. Now I think we are fully aware that we can adjust to whatever conditions we are faced with.
The second match definitely was more competition. The courts were a lot faster. But everyone came out really strong and we just were able to take care of business.
I felt like it was the first time I was playing my best. I really enjoyed playing, and when that happens I can win. I had been dealing with all kinds of things, but I really felt ready. I am definitely regaining my confidence.
We accomplished our main goal of staying undefeated at home. Now we look forward to welcoming Stanford because we have a lot deeper lineup than last year. I expect a close match.
We didn't play the way we wanted. We had the momentum going on Friday so it was really frustrating. And it seemed to be the same problem on the other courts that lost.
It was good to know that was everyone was healthy. It definitely gives us a lot of confidence when we are all playing our best out there.
Our doubles side has been getting better and better each week. We have been experimenting with the doubles and game styles.
There aren't too many teams that accomplished what we did against (the Cardinal). Next time, expect a lot more from us. We want to demonstrate the full depth of our lineup and hopefully we will.
Her opponent was just playing really smart. To (Stephanie's) credit, she is a fighter and is working hard during practice.
