Straight from the Courts
Head coach Danny Westerman: "Very happy with the effort today. Doubles was a roller-coaster for both teams, but I'm proud of our guys to stay composed in the final moments. The guys stayed committed to our plays and that carried over nicely into singles. We are pumped to play a very good Ohio State team on Sunday."
