For the Crimson Tide, senior Alba Cortina Pou continued her unbeaten streak, increasing it to 9-0 by beating the Bulls' Evelyne Tiron, 6-4, 6-3. “South Florida is a good team," Alabama head coach Jenny Mainz said.

We did a good job in doubles and then grabbed five first sets in singles. Overall, we played with better intensity today.”

Crimson Tide quote of the day:
“He was a hard-nosed coach and demanded a lot from us. If you can do it and you can do it well, why not do it perfect? That was his whole philosophy pretty much.”
