"I challenged the team today to get off the bus with energy and passion," Head Coach

She stepped up to a challenge and was the best player on the court in singles and in doubles. We knew Brockport was going to be a talented team. We knew that it was going to be a tough match. Rest up and get ready for two more tough matches next week. Let's go Saxons!"
