TOP QUOTE
"Doubles, I thought, was excellent. Clearly in the singles Pete (Bjoern Petersen) clearly played his best tennis, so it was good to see, and I think just getting a chance to play (was nice). Everybody won (in) straight sets, so it's hard to have anything negative to say about it. I think we had a few guys that came out of the indoor not playing as well as they would like, and I think it was great for them to get out and build some confidence and have some good success." --head coach Matt Knoll
