18 Quotes by Marianne Bretschneider

Brittany, who is playing in her first match, has shown a lot of heart, losing a set and then coming back.

Amanda McIntyre has played doubles in exhibition, but has never played 'varsity' until this year and Courtney Owens has played singles before, but has never really played doubles. Those two are really playing well together. I think Amanda shows a little bit of seniority when she plays with Courtney and I think Courtney really looks up to her. They still have some kinks to work out but they are learning.

It's just getting them to play this strong in back-to-back games.

I've had losses. But I'd probably go through this and not feel as bad about the situation if I knew my kids left everything out there on the court, but they haven't done that this week. I've been trying to tell them 'you need to be focused.' This isn't how my girls play tennis.

I know right now Courtney is frustrated. I will say flat out I thought Courtney was the better player. Courtney needs to work on better shot selection. Next year at this time when Courtney plays that chick it will be 6-0, 6-0.

I'm proud of Courtney Owens, especially since she just got into the sport six months ago.

In the past I've always gotten frustrated because I've seen other teams step up during the season. I knew yesterday this wasn't the same team that played Battlefield at the start of the season. They had played much better than they have in the past.

Candy had some nice placement. She was putting some stuff on the ball. She was hitting top spin, she was hitting slice. She was putting it all together.

I came down to see Courtney and she was up 5-0 in the second set. You can't ask anything more of your girls than that.
