WHAT HEAD COACH SEAN MCCAFFREY SAID
"A real challenging match today for us. We were able to take the doubles point and showed a great deal of fight on most courts in both singles and doubles. We absolutely need to keep working on finding ways to finish the extremely competitive matches. If we can figure that piece out we will be a very tough team to beat."
