Barlow's Bits
"The score didn't reflect how close this one was today. We got out to a slow start today in the doubles. If you win the doubles point at this level, it gives you momentum for the rest of the match. That's something we've got to work on moving forward. It was great to see Hugo get back on track with a win at No. 6. I am looking forward to our second conference match against Oral Roberts next weekend." – Assistant Coach Matthew Barlow
