Quote
"Always nice to close out the regular season with a win. I couldn't be happier for our seniors. Kristina's play was great today, picking up a win in doubles. She's been a great leader as a captain and teammate and it's great to see her put two points on the board during senior day. Emily will certainly be missed as well, while injuries derailed her playing career, she has been amazing in the classroom and helped with a lot of things off the court. We look forward to learning our NCAA draw and getting back to work next week." -Nichols head coach
