"I'm incredibly proud of the way the ladies performed today. RWU is a tough place to play and they came in playing very well. In doubles we really got off to a hot start. Lindsey and Kara at the No. 3 played their best match to date together. It was great to see the top pairs follow suit with solid wins. Many deserve credit in singles. Meg was dominant as was Amie. Rachel played another solid match and Juli fought her tail off. Izzy Leonardi deserves so much credit for the level of fight. She saved a remarkable 15 set points before dropping the first set. She then took over in the second and closed out the breaker. She didn't have her best game but she really led the way with her effort. On a larger note, congratulations to Izzy and Amie as they now sit alone atop the record books. They aren't alone in rewriting our history as several of the ladies have moved their way up the ladder. What a truly spectacular group." -Nichols head coach Paul Brower
