"The girls' performance today was awesome. We came out a little flat, but we worked through it. We lost two sets big, and we came back and seemed to match up well with them [Emmanuel] with our serve-receive lineup. I'm just so proud of them. We needed that win; we've been working for it. It's just a great job, what they did. I'm very proud of them."Â
