QUOTING COACH MAUNTLER
"Such a gritty win today! Buffalo is such a tough place to play and so I'm thrilled with how the girls battled the entire match. Five of six matches went three sets, so it was a brutally physical match. I am so proud of everyone, but especially Cat who played with ALL HEART to clinch this one."
