We knew they were well-coached and were going to give us everything they had, and I feel like we were able to answer," assistant coach Bryan Rainwater said.

The atmosphere by the end of the match was great, and I really felt like the girls played as a team and fought for each other today."

- The doubles tandem of Allison Stewart and Sylvia Viljoen took the second flight 6-1, and Andrea Guerrero and Maryjoe Crisologo followed with a 6-3 victory to give the Wildcats the first point of the afternoon.
