match played
We were a little rusty. We played well in spots, but you could tell we hadn't played a match in two weeks.
match opportunity win
We had the opportunity to win at doubles. We really had the match going our way, but we couldn't close.
knew matches top tough
We knew we were going to have two very tough matches at the top two (singles positions).
good last match players playing regular struggled totally
It's going to be a totally different match (than the one in the regular season) because were going to be playing outdoors. Some of their players have been playing good at the end of the season, and some of our players have struggled the last two weeks. I think it's anybody's match.
match ohio state
Ohio State is a little down right now. We match up well with them.
aggressive ball difference doubles girls helped hit inside match playing
I think the difference in the match may have come down to playing doubles inside. They play very aggressive doubles, and it really helped them being inside because they've got some girls that hit the ball with a lot of power.
against alone believing best compete doubles extremely matched matter north ourselves played pleased proved team top
Overall, I am pleased with today. We didn't play as well in doubles as we can and that was disappointing. However, we played extremely well in singles. I thought that we played UNC the best that we have played any top-20 team this season, let alone a top-10 team. We matched up well against North Carolina. It was a matter of believing that we can compete with top teams, and I think we proved that to ourselves today.

I thought it was a great day for our freshmen to get used to college tennis and dual matches.

It came down to the doubles point. There are no excuses, we should have won the doubles point. That was the match.

That wasn't a surprise. Those two Russian girls are very good players.

If we make the NCAA Championships, you definitely have to call it a successful season.

I was pleased with the way those four girls went out and kicked (their opponents) off the court.

We expected some trouble at that match. That was the one (match) I was most pleased about.

Brianna and Sigrid did especially well because (Penn State) has been winning at the three, four and five positions. It was a good start to the Big Ten season.
