CATCHING UP WITH COACH BARTLETT:
"Today was another hard fought match and win. Both SJSU and Cal Poly are teams we lost to last season. Our team securing the doubles point in these last two matches was very helpful to ger us some momentum in the singles play. I think yesterday's win in windy conditions versus SJSU helped to create some mental toughness and we used that again today. Both of these matches really are coming down to the last matches. Hopefully moving forward in our schedule we can use this confidence to build on our next opportunity."
UP NEXT:
The Dons will return to their home courts on Friday morning as they will host the Sacramento State Hornets at 11:00 a.m. at Golden Gate Park.
