Head Coach Taylor Fogleman praised his team’s resilience, stating, “We certainly came out of the gates well in the doubles. USC challenged us in the singles, but I was incredibly pleased with our resilience and grit on the courts. I am proud of the girls for finding a way to get the result, and we will need more of that as we continue in this tournament.” ([LSU][2])

With this win, LSU advances to face Ohio State in the Super Regionals, scheduled for later next week. The Tigers will aim to continue their historic run and secure a spot in the NCAA Championships.
