Head Coach Roy Canada was very impressed with the opening of the play.
“I have to say this tournament has some of the toughest competition we have seen all fall,” Canada said. “With three of our girls in the semifinals of their flight and three out of our four doubles teams in the semifinals, we are looking strong. Overall eight solid wins out of fourteen matches makes up for a very good first day.”
