"It felt really good coming out on top today," said Dweek shortly after her win closed out the day's action. "Our team's been through a lot of ups and downs this season, we've battled a lot of injuries along the way, but we're excited about today's result and we're going to try and keep this intensity up for the rest of the weekend."
