THEY SAID IT 
Head Coach Nick Brochu
- On today's performance: " Yesterday, we had a slow start in doubles, but today we made a return, and we made the right shots at the right time. It all worked out great in the end. We knew if we took the lead, then the pain and fatigue would become bigger for them since it was their second match in two days. We needed a big start, and we did. We knew that at some spots, we would be able to get a quick win. Our team executed the plan perfectly, and I am very happy with it today. "

Senior Clément Marzol
- On today's performance: "We played good tennis with good serves and good returns. We were able to take the ball early, and that's what worked for me today, so I am pretty happy with my performance. The team's cheering was great, and it was a good day overall. Conference Championships are coming up, and that's what we've been focused on at practice lately. Overall, I am happy with the way that we performed."
