QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"We had some ups and downs over the weekend, but we started and finished on a high note," said head coach Thiago Dualiby. "We had a solid performance in doubles for the second tournament in a row now, which is very different from where we were last year. It's a good sign, especially having four freshmen join this year and a lot of time to work on the doubles game before our spring season. We have a hardworking group, which will also translate into our singles. All the small details keep adding up."
