SCHUNZEL ON TONIGHT'S WIN:
I'm really proud of our team for coming into tonight with the exact same mentality as last night. We played a complete match; our focus was great and we played really hard and clean for three straight sets. We took care of business and dominated from start to finish. That's a big step forward for us.
