Texas A&M Quotes
Head Coach Steve Denton
On the day in Fort Worth…
"Another solid day which started with an energetic doubles by both teams that allowed us to build some momentum. I thought we got off to fast starts in the singles winning all first sets and finishing three of those off in straight sets. Noah beating Fomba was great for his confidence. Rollins backed his win up yesterday with another good performance and was proud of Storch who didn't play his best, but competed well to get the win. Our lone loss today was Barnaby who started out really well, but give Fearnley credit for stepping it up in sets two and three."
