TEXAS A&M QUOTES
Head Coach Mark Weaver
On the match...
"Very impressive effort all across the board. Mississippi State is very a good team, and without Mia Kupres today in the lineup it felt like everyone stepped today. We just continued to play great doubles to set the tone for the match, and to not drop a set across singles is a impressive effort from the team."

UP NEXT...
The Aggies return to action Saturday when they host Alabama at the Mitchell Tennis Center with first serve set for 10 a.m.
