Barlow's Bits
"William Woods is a team full of passion. They didn't give us anything easy in this one. I'm proud that our guys didn't use the lack of outdoor preparation as an excuse, but quickly adjusted to the conditions and played solid tennis. Big shoutout to Hugo and Alvaro today as they found a way, although they were not having their best day on the court. We're looking forward to Saint Louis in the morning." – head coach Matt Barlow
