THEY SAID IT
Head Coach Nick Brochu
- On the ITA Regionals: "We have four guys going to regionals. The ITA Regionals is the biggest tournament of the fall for us. This is the qualification for fall nationals. Our guys have been looking forward to this one. We've played in three tournaments so far this year and we have gotten better after each tournament and that's what you want. The more match experience we get, I think our guys are able to handle the pressure better. I really think it's looking good and I can't wait to see how we do against the best in the region. All of the top schools from the SEC, Sun Belt and Conference USA are going to be there and it's going to be awesome. It's going to be a long one because we have to go through qualifications because they had a really small main draw this year with just 24 players. It's going to be tough, but at the same time we are headed there to compete in some matches and play hard every single match. So, that's what we are going to do. At the same time, this is going to be a great test to see where we are at because we are going to see some of those teams in the spring again. So, it's going to be a good to see our future opponents play and how we do against them."
