COBRA'S CORNER
"We put ourselves in a very tough position by coming out flat at No.2 and 3 doubles. That just shows how important doubles are. An outdoor team playing indoors, and being down 1-0 is a very tough position to be in. NJIT is very much an indoor team and they took advantage of the conditions. We had a lot of things not going our way, yet the team never gave up and found a way to get the win. Today is important for us to see how important every match is and we cannot overlook any match. " - Head Coach Mariana Cobra
