TWU Head Coach Ryan Hofer
“I was really pleased with how we handled serve receive today. All three passers did a really nice job on serve receive and Emma had one of her past passing matches. I thought we handled the ball really well. We are experimenting with a few things and the girls did a great job.”

On mixed line-up
“We are still trying to figure out what the season is going to look like and I feel that in order to go deep in this league you can’t just have seven players. We are trying to develop a team and give opportunity to players and figure out what our combination is going to look like and what is going to help us for the season.”

UP NEXT
The Spartans will now play the Queen’s Gaels tomorrow afternoon in the final match of the Showcase. Match time is scheduled for 3 p.m. on Centre Court at the Langley Events Centre.
