FROM THE SOURCE
Head Coach Bobby Pennington on his accomplishment
"Today was very special as it was a celebration of team and family. I can't think of a better script for match 600. Binghamton came out strong in front of a huge rowdy crowd and pushed us in doubles and parts of singles.
"I've said it before but our women just keep evolving and improving and the sky is the limit. They are points away from being 6 and 2 on the year. To return our top 6 from last year and add really high-quality freshmen is simply lethal. The scary part is we just getting started."
