QUOTABLES
- "I am very happy with both teams," said Tim Dunford, Ashland Director of Tennis Operations, "but I have to admit I've never been more proud of a team that I've ever coached than I was of our women today. Tiffin is undefeated in G-MAC play for a reason. We played incredibly well. It came down to the third set of the last match. We proved that we belong in the G-MAC Tournament. I'm so very excited about where this women's team has come in such a short period of time."
