\n“We had some really great moments and some tougher times as well,” said head coach Jeff Wyshner<\/a>. “That’s typical of any September tournament, but given the quality of the players at a national-level event, it was exciting to see the promise in how Nevena, Jingyi, Krystal and Kady all played. We won six matches in a highly selective national field. That was great to see, and the losses will guide us on what we want to work on between now and Regionals.”<\/p>\n
\nWake Forest will have a couple weeks of break from competition before partaking in the ITA Carolina Regional (Oct. 16-21), hosted by the University of North Carolina.<\/p>\n
