From coach dougherty
"I'm very happy for the team to pull this out today. Beating a good team like Penn State twice in 5 days is a tall task and they tougher it out got it done. 2 and 3 doubles were clutch for us today and Mino and Selma did a great job closing their matches out in 2 sets. Kallista did what Kallista does and that battle till the end and make her opponents incredibly uncomfortable. I know we're ready and excited to play a very good Michigan team tomorrow."
Looking Ahead
The Tennis Terps will face #1 Michigan on Friday April 28 for the next match of the Big Ten Tournament.
