THEY SAID IT
BAYLOR HEAD COACH JOEY SCRIVANO
On the match tonight...
"Great team win. The players were really focused, locked in and energized. It's tough after a back-to-back to play at your absolute best, but I thought our players were focused. They played well tonight."
On getting 10th win of the season...
"It's not a surprise because we could see the team building to this. Even last season, the culture was really healthy and everything was going in the right direction, but it wasn't showing up on the scoreboard. This season, we have great depth and an amazing culture. We have high character kids and they play hard and for each other. When you have that recipe, that's when the results will come."
BAYLOR SOPHOMORE ANASTASIA KHARITONOVA
On the match tonight...
"I thought everyone played well tonight. The girls started great in doubles by getting the point and in singles, everyone was fought. We did well today."
On her performance...
"I tried to do my best and stay focused on my court. I wanted to play every point and not think too much because sometimes thoughts will come into your head and it creates more problems for you. But, today was good for me."

Baylor resumes play Tuesday with a non-conference match at Noon vs. Central Florida.
