Head Coach
Gretchen Maloney had this to say about the teams' weekend in Boise, "It was a solid weekend of tennis! We battled really well against Boise State, we had a couple close losses in three sets. We are still working on depth and being aggressive at the right time. Our doubles play was good in the sense that we were able to set up the point, but struggled a little bit with execution of the final shot. Against Lewis-Clark State the girls really plaued confident and worked on depth and consistency."
