COACH'S QUOTES
Head coach Steve Denton on the impact of the doubles point…
"I thought the doubles point was the difference today. We were able to come back and secure the point. That really helped us kind of relax the guys and give them a little bit of an edge."
Denton on the mentality of playing after a loss…
"We were staying aggressive and being positive out there. It's never easy when you had a tough match on the first day. I think the team that can stay positive out there with a lot of energy has a better chance to win, and I thought the guys did a good job today. We played a complete match throughout the lineup, from top to bottom, in singles and doubles."
