It was a good match. It was close throughout both sets, and Jack pulled it out and that's nice for him.

I think it's important to them to go out on their own terms. You really get close throughout this process. Some teams want it to just end, especially when you've had some ups and downs like this team had. But this team doesn't feel that way.

It was a close game throughout. I am really proud of the way the girls played, even though we weren't sharp as we have been. We stayed with them and didn't give up.

It's the oddest match: Mary J. Blige and Julianne Hough! But we became so close.

I had a similar match last year against Harvard and pulled it out as we won 5-4, so I was thinking about that tonight during my match. I kept saying to myself, the teams are 4-4 and this match will decide it... even though it wasn't. I like to have the pressure on me. I need the coaches to tell me that I need to win for the team to pull it out. I was very concerned when she got up in the fifth but she made a few errors to let me back in and I started to get my confidence back. I loved the loud crowd, it made me play better.

They (Covenant) made a run for it, but we pulled together and finished off the match. We're still working on communicating a lot more and keeping it simple.
