Key Quotes:
Head Coach Drake Bernstein
On today's match:
"I thought that we came out in the doubles really good from the start of the match. Sometimes it can be distracting if you only have two doubles matches going on, but it felt like the players that weren't playing brought a lot of energy. It felt pretty normal and allowed those other two teams to go out and do their thing and get a quick doubles point. Then the game carried momentum into singles. Happy with our top three courts, those are the only ones I really saw today. [Anastasiia Lopata] cleaned, start to finish. Mell [Reasco] to get one in the bank. She's been battling, she's getting better every week and for her to get a result that validates that, love to see that. Another day for the Dawgs getting a win in Athens."

Guillermina Grant | Sr.
On today's match:
"I think we did a really good job. Everyone was playing really good. We came up in doubles with a lot of energy and I think we did a pretty good job. Me and Dasha [Vidmanova] were playing super solid doubles and then it was great to see Mell [Reasco] finishing. She has been working really hard and it's really good to see great things happening to her."
