Quotes from the Match
Head Coach David Roditi
"Today was a tough road win. We knew it was going to take all we had and it did. We had a great performance at the top of singles lineup and a great doubles point especially at No. 3 doubles. Tulane is a very good team. Both teams didn't have a lot of outdoor tennis leading up to this match so it was going to come down to competing and fighting skills. We did a great job at the top to close out matches in two sets.
"I like the fact that different guys are stepping up. We need every player and every coach to continue to improve so we can compete for the Big 12. We are not there yet and we will work hard to give ourselves the best shot. Our volunteer assistant coach Derek (Siddqui) did a superb job with his courts and if we had a "coaching game ball," he would be the recipient. We fly out of here with a very solid road win and now prepare ourselves for another tough road match at USF."
