Baylor University - Waco, Texas
POSTMATCH QUOTES
First Round - Baylor 4 vs. UT-Arlington 3 - May 9, 2003
Baylor head coach Matt Knoll:
(on losing the doubles point)
"The doubles were shocking. Mike Garcia and Matias Maran have played well together, but mentally they weren't there. Ivor Lovrak and Jason Gould were in command and should have won, but it was a toss up. The fear of putting two freshmen together is scary. They have the talent, but had to overcome issues."
(on the match)
"It's great to be at home and have the advantage. I don't care if the match is 4-0, we just want to advance. Tomorrow is another day, and that's exciting."
(on Matias Maran)
"We didn't learn anything new today. Matias is a tough competitor who made shots. He was down in the second set and fortunately we had a guy like him there."
Baylor No. 2 singles player Matias Maran:
(on the pressure of winning the final match)
"It's a great feeling. You're going to have that pressure, but it's nice when you have people cheering for you. I wasn't focused on the score but on my play."
UTA head coach Patric DuBois:
(on the expectations)
"We felt we had a good chance of winning when we saw the line-up. Our expectations were higher this year than in the past. This is definitely something we can build on."
(on the No. 2 singles match)
"David (Corrie) played very well considering his injured hip flexor. Matias (Maran) is a stud under pressure."
