Quotes
"It feels awesome to get the win on our home courts. We killed it through doubles and kept the confidence up. I've seen a different team throughout the whole season and we are ready to take on our biggest rival. It is bittersweet to play in my final home match but I hope we can make it far in the championship and keep fighting." – Senior captain Michelle Keklik

"Solid showing from top to bottom. I am very proud of the way Michelle played today in her final home match. She really helped take over that match and it helped set the tone the rest of the way. We looked good top to bottom in singles and Lauren took care of business. To be leading in every match in the end of every match is a sign that we are playing the right way at the end of the season. We are looking forward to playing Endicott as I think we are playing better now than we were the first time we met. Hopefully we can do our job and take care of business while we are up there." Nichols head coach Paul Brower
