Quotes
"It is always nice to get back to the conference championship. Today, we beat a very good team in Gordon and we didn't quite play our best. I know we have been playing at a very high level, and I am sure we are going to bring it this weekend against Endicott." – Nichols head coach Paul Brower
 
"Izzy Leonardi was huge for us. She was very sound in doubles and had some huge shots in big spots and then got out to a big lead in singles – as did Megan. When you are able to look down the line and see two girls with huge leads, I think that gives a lot of confidence to the other players." – Brower on the play of Leonardi
