THEY SAID IT
Head Coach Nick Brochu
Looking ahead to the tournament: "I think the guys are very excited. This is the second biggest tournament of the fall. We had a lot of success at the All-American and hopefully the guys use it and will be very motivated for regionals. Loic and Clem were one match shy of reaching indoor nationals. Now they have a second chance to go to regionals and prove they deserve an automatic or at-large bid. Sacha and Sam had a great weekend at the Samford Invitational. They both went 3-0 in singles and together they went 3-0 in doubles. The guys are playing good right now. They (Modica and Serrano) have to go through qualifying, but sometimes it gets you warmed up and puts you in a grove. If you get through qualifying and into the main draw you're almost more ready than the other guys. I'm looking forward to the four guys coming up with some big performances this weekend."
