Quotable
> "We finished the dual meet season against very strong competition. It was a very challenging day but I'm pleased with the fight that our young ladies showed and the execution of some of the things that we've been working on all year. We fought for every touch against some strong schools and we were able to hold our own. While nobody was totally happy with their performance, they were definitely Temple TUFF."– head coach Dr. Nikki Franke
