THE ROCKHILL REPORT
"Today was a lot of fun", said Coach Dan Rockhill.  "I enjoy taking both teams to West Chester as we get a lot of tennis on their 12 courts. We showed our depth today and I am happy for Vera and Gio getting nice wins. I know I can count on those two every time they play."
 
"I was concerned about this match after our emotional win at Queens but the ladies were not trapped into a letdown whatsoever. Our doubles continued to get better and I am pleased to see the players building their own confidence."
 
"I thought Ebba and Elita were really good again today", remarked Rockhill. "These two make themselves very tough to beat day in and day out. I am also proud of Eliza as she became STAC's career doubles wins leader today. She also moved into second place in career combined victories."
 
"We will get back to work tomorrow to prepare for Molloy on Friday, which is the most important match of the year…because it's the next one."
