THEY SAID IT
Head coach Jaco Keyser
- On today's performance: "It was a tough match today. I knew it was going to be a tough match. There is a reason why they are in the top five of Division II teams in the nation, they have some really good players. It was a tight doubles match and some very physical singles matches but this time of year that's exactly what we are looking for in order to see where we are at and where we need to go." 
- On how the team is doing so far: "We are competing pretty well but the quality of play is not what we have in mind big picture wise but the effort is there, the intent is there so now its just a matter of time."

UP NEXT 
-The Jags will host Xavier (La.) on Sunday at 1 p.m.
