"First and foremost, I'm very excited with how our team performed today, it was a great team win," said Kendrick "It's always nerve racking when you realize the entirety of the match hinges on your ability to play under pressure. I constantly reminded myself during my match that I had been in this situation before and through grit and determination I was about to outlast my opponent and get us a much needed win against a great team."
