Overall thoughts on the match…
"Yeah, really good team win, you know, I am proud of the entire team. They came out in the doubles on fire and ready to go, and I just loved their attitude. And then in singles, you know, it's tennis, it's a long day at the office, so they had to maintain their focus and their energy level. But I love the way they did that, especially the freshmen. They really carried us and pushed the team over the finish line. So we needed that and they needed it too, you know, the freshmen are a big part of what we're doing. I'm glad to see them pull through."
On Zuzanna Kubacha's performance…
"Oh, Zuza, yeah, I mean Zuza is so good. She's just so good. I mean, her and Na [Dong] are just interchangeable, they're two of the best players in the country. That definitely started us off on the right foot."
WHAT'S NEXT
Baylor will host BYU on Thursday, April 2 at noon at the Hurd Tennis Center in Waco, Texas.
