SAY WHAT
"It was a great competitive match today. I was really proud of our guys at the crucial moments in doubles to take the doubles point. In the No. 1 doubles they played really stepped up and played aggressive in the big moment. In some spots in singles, we were so close to getting the victory, but were not able to get there. We had some tough matches with some USF players who matched up great with us. Credit goes to USF, they competed really hard and it was a competitive college tennis match. We are excited to come home and play one more match before conference play. "
