Tjia Talk: "Wednesday's match with Mercer is a make-up match that was rained out on February 18th. We started the match, but rain washed out the rest of the afternoon. We know we are in for a tough battle on Wednesday and we are really looking forward to it. Mercer has a really strong team and I think both teams are pretty even."

Tjia Talk: "This weekend's matches will be our final home matches of the season. It's hard to believe how fast the season is going.
