Northwestern
Head Coach Claire Pollard -
"I
am proud of the way we played tonight. I have to give credit
to Florida, they are an excellent team. I am glad we had the
opportunity to be here again and I think Florida will know
that they played a match tonight."
Florida
Head Coach Roland Thornqvist -
"Northwestern
played very well. A lot of credit goes to them. Our intensity
dropped a bit at a couple of the courts in the second set
and they surely made us pay for it. I liked the way our team
responded in the third set and that we stepped up and played
better in the third set than we had in the previous part of
the match."
