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.
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.
both doubles doubt last played point season singles split twice
We played twice last season and split matches. I wouldn't doubt if the singles split this weekend. The doubles point is going to be very important for both teams.
alone best played pleased team
Overall, I'm pleased with the way we competed. That's the best we've played a top-20 team -- let alone a top-10 team.

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.
call definitely ncaa successful
If we make the NCAA Championships, you definitely have to call it a successful season.
four girls kicked pleased
I was pleased with the way those four girls went out and kicked (their opponents) off the court.
match opportunity win
We had the opportunity to win at doubles. We really had the match going our way, but we couldn't close.

We expected some trouble at that match. That was the one (match) I was most pleased about.
five four good start ten winning
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.
few good last step won
Alba hasn't won in the last few matches, so it was good to see her step up today.
lose ok pleased singles team three win
We did OK -- not great. Normally, a team can't win if they lose at the one, two and three singles positions, so I was pleased we could win at the bottom.
