Northwestern head coach Claire Pollard

On SaturdayÕs second round match against IndianaÉ

ÒWe expect everyoneÕs best game. Like I said, everyoneÕs a little better at this time of the year and theyÕre coming out with nothing to lose and everything to gain. I was really pleased that we pulled out those two tiebreakers, at three (singles) and five (singles). You know the kid at five (singles) is such a good player when sheÕs on, and she was on today. I didnÕt think it was any reflection on the way we were playing, I thought it was more a credit to them. The key is that we were able to grind it out and persevere.Ó

On freshman Maria MosolovaÉ

ÒI mean our team definitely is boarding to putting the teamÕs success above their own personal success. (Maria) would play whatever position we asked her to, it just so happens that sheÕs playing Number 1 (singles). Everyone is more focused on the team goals than they are with what number they are playing or what their individual role is.Ó
