THEY SAID IT
Head Coach Nick Brochu
On last weekend: "Unfortunately we got rained out last weekend. You don't like to lose those early season matches which prep you up for others like the big ones we have this weekend."
On this weekend's matches: "Even though we beat both teams last year, Auburn will be a challenge and North Florida has had the best of us the last five years. We really have to be ready to play."
On adding Sacha Modica to lineup: "Sacha will be a nice addition to the lineup. Not only for him, but the entire team is happy to have him. There's no more uncertainity as to if he will be cleared or not. We could feel it at practice that everyone is more relaxed. Sacha was practicing hard, but now that he knows that he is eligible, he's really into it. He helps a lot with doubles, even though he is a good singles player, he is also a good doubles player."
