Last year, she won 15 matches in a row, and fell into a rut this past fall. But she had a great attitude and has been working hard.

It was a very good start. She started the season 6-0, and now we're hoping she can finish without a loss.

Both teams are a rank lower than us. But they are still threats because they are in our conference and have pushed us in the past.

We had to shift our lineup because of injuries. We proved we could adjust to the environment even though they may not be our strongest pairs. We will go back to our original lineup as soon as our players all get healthy. But right now we are just concentrating on this competition, rest and then prepare for the weekend.

We don't foresee any problems (against Santa Clara). Of course they are a little stronger than last year. We have decided not to take any game for granted either.

It was our first match (since the Cardinal). It was definitely good for us to play. I agree not everybody was ready because it was a recovery week.
