“I’m really impressed by the girls,” Huxford said. “They’re gaining consistency with each match. We have three first-year single players, two who have never played before. They didn’t come in with a lot of confidence and after every game, they’re getting better and better and gaining confidence. They’re starting to understand the game more. I’m excited to see how they do the rest of the season.”
