FROM THE SOURCE
Head Coach Bobby Pennington
"Today was a big conference win for the boys. We were furious about the Lehigh result and it fueled us today. We came out hungry and sharp in the doubles and carried the momentum through. We are two thirds through our schedule and sit at 6 and 6 overall and 1 and 1 in league play. This is a huge week approaching with three matches. "
