COACH MATT MOORE'S COMMENTS

Franklin played a great match. They came out with tremendous intensity, which pushed our players to perform at a high level. We did an excellent job wedding towards the bottom of the lineup. Seth [Nation] also played one of his best matches of the season at No. 1 singles. It was a great team and a great victory.
