"Slow start out of the game, but we played very well towards the end," said Rider Head Coach Tom Battaglia. "Big wins from Jett and Sofia really showed us that they are playing much bigger than first-year players. Leila fought hard until the end. Really pleased with the effort in singles for sure."
