"Today I knew would be tough because Eastern has done well so far," Idaho State coach
Gretchen Maloney said. "I knew we would have to play pretty clean an in doubles we barely got it. It was the difference in a couple points. We played well on the big points. In singles, the girls had a tone of momentum and all were willing to work the point and be clean at the right time. Hana came back at No. 1 singles. She was down 5-2 and figured out a way to win. I am super proud of their effort. It was a great overall team win. Everyone contributed and everyone got a win."
