Courtney Nagle, Head Coach
On Shweta Sangwan and Rifanty Kahfiani's success in doubles..
"Those guys always come out with a lot of energy. There's a lot of excitement in a lot of the points that they play. When they have big points, big put-aways or gets, it really just lights a fire on every court. When they come out hot it trickles down to every court and makes a big difference."
Rifanty Kahfiani, Junior
On how her and Sangwan play together
"We played very aggressive in doubles today. I really like to play with Shweta because she is very aggressive in the back and it sets me up to succeed at the net."
