THE QUOTE
"I am very proud of the Aztec women today," head coach Peter Mattera stated. "They came to play against a very tough Air Force team on Senior Day. Our number one doubles team was in particular very important today as they clutched the tiebreaker to give us the doubles point, which gave us some momentum going into singles play. Everyone played well (ins ignles action) and it was a good win by the Aztecs. We hope to duplicate this on the road coming up next weekend."
