FROM THE SOURCE
On the men's performance, head coach Bobby Pennington said, "Another outstanding performance for the men today improving our league-leading record to 2-0. We played flat at No. 1 doubles and looked solid at No. 2 and 3 doubles. In singles, we had a business trip attitude and looked razor sharp sweeping No. 1-6 all in straight sets.
 
"Now is when the real fun starts and the games begin as we have three huge league tests all at home starting with Lehigh. We need a high-quality week of practice to prep and be ready for our annual heart awareness match Saturday."
