FROM THE SOURCE
Head Coach Bobby Pennington
"For the third time in a week the men went the distance coming down to the bitter end. It was an unbelievably high quality match and honor to play against the winningest tennis coach in NCAA history, Dave Porter. Game ball goes to Daugherty for winning both singles and doubles. Credit also goes to Alter and Dardis for winning yet again. I am very blessed and humbled by how hard these guys play for me. We look forward to our fourth battle in a week tomorrow against Pacific."
