"I am very proud of Anastasia for battling through a tough match in adverse conditions," said head coach Mat Iandolo. " I think it showed a lot of maturity on her part. I am also very happy with Anastasia and Paige playing in the doubles finals.

"Missy and Lexi both won big matches today against high level competition," continued Iandolo. "I am very proud of their efforts today."
