THEY SAID IT
Head Coach Nick Brochu
On Cloes and Marzol in doubles today: "It was a big win today. We got ourselves out of two tough service games early in the match which boosted our confidence. We felt that if we took them to the breaker we would be good. We played lots of breakers at the All-American and our breaker record is good. We played solid points and won the breaker the right way. Winning the first was key. After that, we relaxed and went big on returns and earned three breaks to win a quick second set. The guys played focused and showed why they are the number-one seed."
UP NEXT
Cloes and Marzol face Mississippi State's No. 7 Giovani Oradini and Niclas Braun at 10 a.m. on Tuesday.
