SAY WHAT
"It is not the result we wanted, but there are a lot of positives that we can take out of the match. I was really impressed with our doubles again. Sahil did a great job to close out his match in two sets against a very good opponent. We learned a lot from this one and it is going to make us improve in the future. Our team just keeps getting better and better. All of the credit goes to Tulane. They were really tough and just wouldn't go away. We did a good job of sticking to our games. I am proud of our guys' fight and now we have to move on and play Troy and move in the right direction." - Head Coach Mark Finnegan
