THEY SAID IT
Head Coach Nick Brochu (men)
- On today's match: "We underperformed Sunday, so we are looking to bounce back on Wednesday at home against Nicholls. We're going to have strong practice days this week in preparations for the match. We have to treat Wednesday's match as if we were going against a top-ranked opponent. We're going in with a focused mindset of executing the proper game plan and being very disciplined on the courts. One of our issues last weekend was that we were not focused and that created errors for us. Everyone needs to get back on track because we have a big match against Nicholls State. Overall, we are looking forward to the team being very professional and staying focused on the court. Hopefully, the weather cooperates with us, and we get to play.
Head Coach Jaco Keyser (women)
- On today's match: "With all the bad weather coming this week, it feels nice to be able to validate some of the good quality practices we have been having for a while now. We have to keep on executing the plan and raising the level of play in practice so we can be ready to compete when conference and tournament play starts."
