Megan (Quandt) had a big night as she had another tiebreaker in which she emerged victorious," said USF Head Coach Kevin Grebin. "Lexi (Miller) also was big as she rallied to win at No. 2 singles. Then Joelle (Thorfinnson), Rachel (Klatt) and Emily (Applegate) all had strong performances as they won in straight sets. Also our doubles combos were outstanding tonight. Yes, I was really happy with the effort and resiliency put forth by this squad tonight," said Grebin.
