QUOTES
Head Coach Nick Brochu
On the match: "Good win today. The goals today were to have a good start and not slow down even after we take the lead on most courts. We kept pushing until the match was called. Great competitive attitude by the guys today. We tried new teams in doubles today and the guys adapted well. Even when sitting one of our top guys, everybody stepped up and played hard. We were vocal and fighting for every point. Good preparation for our tough trip to Florida next week."
