// COACH TOTH ON THE BEARCATS
"A tough way to go out today, but quite an effort by our girls. We had opportunities to really get in control of the match in the singles, but a couple of USF's players really stepped up for their team and won key points which led to winning sets which was big for them."
"At this point all you can do is look back at the season and hope everyone involved realizes what a good season we had. If a few things go our way in a few of our matches you could be talking about one of the better seasons in our program history. With that said everyone in our program can be proud of that fact we won more than we lost and never went down easily. With a little more maturing and improvement I'm confident this team can break through against some of the better teams on our schedule and in our conference."
