“I’m proud of all of our teams, but especially proud of [the women’s team] … they just really, really wanted it,” track & field director Amy Deem said. “We had to work really hard to get to this point. I don’t think anybody coming into the championships, except us, expected us to do this. From the first day to the end, they just kept fighting and kept fighting. I’m just very, very proud of this group.”

“This is a team we’ve played more than any other team in our history,” Miami head coach Gino DiMare said. “We need to make sure we’re ready to play. I have a feeling our guys will be very excited and pumped to go up there and play.”

“I was just worried about putting up a good at-bat with the bases loaded and just put a good swing on it,” Levenson said. “Lately, we’ve just been going back to basics and getting our fundamentals right.

Already down the doubles point, and with only two of Miami’s singles players winning their opening sets, the match looked hopeless. No. 45 South Florida (14-11) had a clear path to victory, needing just three of the four courts they were up on to advance. The Hurricanes (17-9) found themselves in an all-too-familiar hole.

“We came out and played great doubles,” Yaroshuk-Tews said. “I did not love our start in singles, across the board ... but we figured it out, we stayed calm and got the win.”

“Today, we did a lot of work, early work. Just getting back to the fundamentals and getting back to what made us successful throughout the year to this point,” Burke said. “Credit to guys in front of me in the lineup…I’m pretty sure every time I was up today there was a runner on third or at least a runner in scoring position.”
