COACH TOTH ON WIN OVER IUPUI
"It's always good to be on our campus courts, we got an awesome outdoor facility. I mean we haven't really practiced out here very much - but we did a great job, I am just really proud of these guys. In particular with Kelli and Emma, they are winners they are gonna get the job done for us. I mean Kelli Niehaus is 22-2 this year, I mean what a year and really proud of her. Emma, we have seen it for five years now, what she is all about. You can count on those guys. We have other people doing a great job too. When you win as many matches as have in a row, it's been a team effort and everyone's contributed."

"It's important that the girls know what's going on. For me, we just gotta keep plugging along - at the end of the season we have some real challenges. I am really proud of these guys, these guys have earned this. They are a deserving team to be a part of our women's tennis history at UC."
