Texas A&M Quotes
Head Coach Mark Weaver
On the match…
"That was a great team win for our group. Florida and Stanford are probably the two biggest powerhouses in college tennis, so the defeat them on their home courts really says a lot about our group. Florida has won 14 national team championship over the years. I believe that is the first time we have ever beaten them in Gainesville. One thing that I am very pleased with our squad is how we have bounced back all season. After all four of our losses we have responded with a better result than the match before."
