POSTMATCH QUOTES
Steve Denton, Texas A&M Head Coach
On the match…
"We played a solid doubles point to get things started and I thought our team fought very well in tough conditions this afternoon. It is not fun for anyone when the wind is swirling as it was today. Our team put their heads down and went to work, the match was much more mental than physical today and our guys responded with a very solid effort up and down the line up."
