COACH MATT MOORE'S COMMENTS

We did a wonderful job managing a really competitive and intense match. Our players were able to reset mentally from Saturday and came out with much stronger execution. We pulled out a clutch win at No. 2 Doubles and carried the momentum into singles. I could not be more pleased with our pattern plan in singles too. We are looking forward to a tough match against Hanover on Saturday.
