Kendall-Woseley again secured the victory the next day when she swept her opponent at No. 2 singles, earning the match point.

Head coach Tracy Mauntler said her team's ability to "sync up" has been a key to the Rockets' recent success.
Â
"The team's competitiveness and energy stood out to me last weekend. They were hungry and weren't going to quit until they won," Mauntler said. "I like the team's synergy right now. They are learning they can do such much more together than they can as individuals."
Â
Mauntler said Kendall-Woseley's leadership has been a big plus, describing her as a "gamer" who knows how to dial-in during competition.
Â
"Mimi's mind is great during competition," Mauntler said. "She doesn't let pressure get to her. She has the ability to block out negativity."
