"Solid effort from everyone," said head coach
Adam Summitt. "It was a jam-packed two days with a lot of tennis. The heat really came and it took its toll on a lot of players. I felt that we dipped in energy on the first day and were just flat. Saturday we were much better, in terms of energy and focus. The matches were competitive and great experience for everyone."
