Martina Coghetto is our MVP of the day as she won the final match for us to prevail and move to the finals. I would like to thank our university for entrusting me to coach these fine young people. I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to represent our school and to lead these young women. Thanks to all who support me and our program. We look forward to playing in the finals tomorrow."
