“I think that they girls played very well on Friday,” said Norwich Coach John Stewart. “Both girls played singles in the regular season and haven’t had much of a chance to practice doubles. For the little amount of time that they played doubles I think that they did a great job.”

Overall the Norwich team took third as a team at the tournament. The Purple Tornado women finished behind Vestal at second and the overall champion Seton Catholic.
