Once the weekend's matches concluded, Bryan Dougherty said, "What an amazing weekend of squash! I am so proud of how well our teams competed and the level of support they showed one another during their matches. Other teams even commented on the level of good sportsmanship that our team demonstrated, which is really one of the best compliments you can get at an event like this. We have a really wonderful group of kids, on and off the court."
