From Head Coach Jenn Boehm...

"In just their second season, Lawrence Tech is a much improved team from last season. Their doubles teams were more aggressive and confident and they played us tough in many singles spots as well. It was a good test for our team to stay focused and work on executing."

"We are developing some new tactics in doubles and got to try them out for the first time today. I was pleased with how we looked, but I am more excited about the possibilities once we've practiced it more."
