POST-MATCH QUOTES
Head Coach Pablo Montana
"That was a fun match to win today. It was windy, and the conditions were tough, but our guys were composed and very disciplined throughout the match. We didn't play our best in doubles, but we were able to bounce back in our singles winning four of the six courts. I'm proud of our guys for staying true to their game and being brave on the big points."
