Texas A&M Quote
Head Coach Mark Weaver
On the match...
"Overall, it was a great performance. That's a very good team that we beat very decisively. They play very good doubles and we really did a good job. Two and three doubles played very well and number one just started a bit slow and had a great comeback to get it to five ball. I think that really helped the other teams as well that we were able to come back there and we talked about getting great starts in the first sets early in the matches all across the board. We did that and we really didn't give them much hope and we took care of business. That will help us as we prepare for Sunday's match.
On the match against Georgia coming up on Sunday...
"It doesn't get much better than that. Number one gets number two in the nation for the outright SEC title. It's basically been us and Georgia for the last four years. Nothing like playing Georgia for the SEC title and should be a great crowd and rate atmosphere out here on Sunday."
