Milwaukee: "It was a tough battle today and our opponents were able to execute in the crucial moments. We played with courage and tenacity. We know the work will pay off in the long run."

Chicago: " We bounced back really well from a tough Friday loss. Whenever you play a team that's been national champions no matter the division, you know it's going to be highly competitive. Our intensity and grit really elevated after the doubles point. It was great to see the tenacity of the Flames on every singles court. "
