Head Coach George Husack Said
"We've reached the most exciting phase of our season and one in which we look forward to each spring. Our team has competed well over the course of the past few months, responded to challenging situations and put themselves in position to win matches. For many of them this will be their final postseason together after several years of tireless work, determined to make a difference and leave their mark by pushing themselves, each other and the program to new heights. I'm excited to see how they decide to finish their Alabama careers and how they take charge of their court in the matches and opportunities ahead."
