TOP QUOTE #1
"Credit to Miami, they flat out out competed us. Bottom line they valued each and every point more than we did. We're still a team that is inconsistent with all the little things, but I know we'll learn from it and improve on it."- head coach Joey Scrivano

WHAT'S NEXT
Baylor will return home to host No. 7 Texas A&M on Wednesday at 5 p.m. That match is designated by the USTA as a College MatchDay contest and will be broadcast on ESPN3.
