Texas A&M Quotes
Head Coach Steve Denton
On the weekend in Baton Rouge…
"It was great to win all three draws today in singles. I thought the guys competed hard today. We played very energetic in the doubles, which was encouraging to see, and then carried that energy into singles. We are all very happy to be competing again and look forward to another great tournament in a couple weeks at Georgia."
