"I'm really excited to see the entire team compete next week at Ojai," said Viking coach Lauren Hickey. "What a great way to cap the conference season. There are a lot of talented tennis players in the Coast this year, so it was awesome to have our group be so successful in the tournament."

"It is awesome to see the inprovement Kristina has made from last year to this season and this tournament," said Hickey of Gazaryan. "Her run to the finals is a great accomplishment for her."
