SAY WHAT
"Today was a really solid win. Troy is a great team and they have a lot of talent. We had to dig in deep and stick to our games in the crucial moments. We had a lot of fun doing that. It was great to have Zach step into the lineup for the first time this year and be able to play big in the big moments. Really proud of him and he should be proud of himself. It was really big getting Lasse and Jack off the court early. Overall it was a great team performance and what I like most about it is that we are having a lot of fun playing tennis right now.
We're excited now to turn our attention to the home opener. It should be an absolute awesome Friday evening. We want to encourage as many people to come out on Friday. Our goal is to get 1,000 people and we think we are going to be close to getting it. We are excited to host College of Charleston and enjoy our first time at home after being on the road for eight matches." - Head Coach
