Quotable
Head coach Ashley Fisher on today's loss….
"We are close to being the sort of team we want to be. A few guys are really coming into form and that's good to see. Toni and Kuba get better every time they step on the court. Very happy with the way Toni and Ivan played in doubles and for the most part we competed hard. We will do a better job of coaching guys up in doubles and while results have been going against us I'm confident the guys will come through the way they always do in April/May. Credit to UCF and the season they are having."
