POSTMATCH QUOTES
Nicole Kenneally, head coach
On the team's play at the tournament
"Overall we had a solid tournament. In doulbes we had some new teams out there and they worked well together. To have two teams in the quarters and be so close to the semis was great. Nuria was a little short today and came up against a fresh opponent, but she's had a great fall. We had solid performances and ultimately continued to learn who we are and what we need to continue working on. That's what's so great about this group is that they're very open to learn, work hard and enjoy the experience and the process."
