Coach Hultquist on Krsljanin:
"We've worked hard on her game since the fall. She's really worked hard on fixing her unforced errors and being a more consistent players. She's got one of the best backhands I've ever seen. She needs to use it a little more, but when it's on, it's on. So she's going to be an important part of this team."
