THEY SAID IT
Head Coach Nick Brochu
On the day: " We met after doubles and talked about how important it was to finish the tournament strong. And that's what we did. We dominated right from the start and never looked back. It was great to see Nathan come back from behind and fight with lots of passion to get his first collegiate singles win. He earned it, I'm proud of him."
