THE ROCKHILL REPORT
 
"It is always good to get a conference win away from home", commented Head Coach Dan Rockhill. "I was especially impressed with Molloy's coaching and the effort of their top few positions.  Samy and Elita had to compete well to win their matches".
 
"I am happy for Elise, who along with Kat and Amanda, grabbed their first dual match singles wins in a Spartan uniform. Elise was all business and played to win every point."
 
"Gio was also terrific and did not lose a single game on the day", remarked Rockhill.
 
"We are super excited to welcome UDC to Sparkill on Monday:, said Rockhill. "We know how good they are after seeing their success at the ITA in September. We will need to be very sharp from top to bottom to win the match."
