Head Coach Mark Weaver
On his thoughts on the match…
"Overall, I'm pleased with the group. There was a different feel with the early morning, 10 o'clock, match and starting with singles first changed things up just a bit. Mississippi State played really well on a few positions, but overall, we took care of business"
Â
On taking care of business…
"Taking care of business was the saying for today and I thought we did that. To be able to finish the team match in roughly an hour and a half is exactly what we wanted. Sunday's match perhaps will be indoors but rain or shine the Aggies will be ready to go."
