Quotable
Head coach Ashley Fisher on today's win...
"Just so proud of the way our guys have come together and dealt with all the ups and downs of the season. It's been a challenging year with Covid and a schedule that has tested us but we have been open to adversity and are much tougher for having gone through it. We have a lot of guys playing the best tennis of their lives right now and we are entering a time of the season that has been very good to us in the past seven years. Individually what Kuba has done since Feb has been one of the most impressive feats I've witnessed in college tennis. Nice for him to finish his college career regular season with two wins at home."
