Joey Scrivano on the day…
"It was a great day of tennis today. We had a lot of athletes that this was their first college competition and they just handled it really, really well. [I'm] just really proud of them and I proud of Anita [Sahdiieva] in Lubbock who had a tough loss today, but man, what a great tournament for her. We're just really excited for this year's team. They're great kids (with) a lot of potential."
