From the Locker Room
"It's a great start to the spring season with a win over a quality Indianapolis squad. We didn't have Bella Baker today, who will be very high in our lineup, and the team found a way to win anyway. Really proud of how we battled today. It's a good day for the Falcons!" – Mike Bonnell, head women's tennis coach
