CATCHING UP WITH COACH BARTLETT:
"We ended up losing 5-2 to USD. It was super positive for our team to get the doubles point starting the match as that's been an area of improvement for our the team. Chiho Mushika was able to win her singles match in straight sets. San Diego is definitely a singles oriented team as they were very strong throughout. Arianna Capogrosso and Simran Chhbara were each able to put together respectable performances against a top 25 team. We will regroup a bit and look forward to facing Santa Clara next week. It was a quality match for us against a strong team in USD."
