Players React to the Match

“[Catherine and Rachel] came out firing in Game 2, and we kind of had to up our level,” Bright said after the contest. “And then Game 3 was definitely a game of runs.

It’s definitely not just me out here on the court, so I definitely want to make that statement,” she said. “I’m enjoying every moment, enjoying playing at facilities like this, and today I really enjoyed sharing the court with AB. Hopefully this isn’t my last, but I’m very happy with what I have achieved and what we have achieved.”
