Wisconsin Head Coach Patti Henderson

On the team's 4-2 win over Notre Dame
"This feels great! We lost to this team in early March, 7-0, but it was a close match. Our team has such great competitors, and we showed it today. Everyone who had an opportunity to win the last time we met Notre Dame, turned it around today and won."

On the team's momentum
"We didn't win the doubles, point, but we still came out in singles and got some quick wins. That gave us momentum for the stretch."

On the team's tenacity today
"We lost a couple of 4-3 matches this season. The team did a great job of taking their time and playing their tennis when it was tough during the singles matches."

Notre Dame Head Coach Jay Louderback

On today's match
"Today's match was like our whole year - close, hard fought matches. Wisconsin was tough today and they just outplayed us."

On the clinching match at No. 1
"Becky [Varnum] played hard. That was a long, tough match for her. She's had matches like this all season, but wasn't able to pull it out today."
