COACH GLASSMAN'S THOUGHTS
"This was a terrific result for the squad. As always, the doubles point loomed large, and the ladies did a great job of keeping their poise and intensity throughout the match. Cornell is a tough squad and competed hard at every spot. It was the first time in school history that we've ever beaten them, and I'm super proud of this team!" said head coach
Gary Glassman.
