WHAT HEAD COACH SANDER KONING SAID
"We came out with a lot more energy in doubles. The guys were more aggressive at critical points and setting each other up better.
"In singles we were very up and down with our focus. We would play well for a period and then we would play very sloppy at times. Everybody will play again tomorrow, and I am looking for the guys to make some adjustments and finish this tournament strong."
UP NEXT
The Eagles finish up the three-day tournament on Sunday in Charleston and then pack up until the spring season begins in January.
