From SVSU Head Coach Jenn Boehm
"The key, once again, came down to winning two of the three doubles matches. It has been our goal all season and was a major factor in us winning this match today. Walsh is very strong in the top half of their lineup and we competed well but lost in those spots. Every girl played very focused and all of their hard work is paying-off! I am a very proud coach!"
