Quotable
"It was a beautiful day to play tennis. Every match we get better. I'm proud of the guys for picking up two wins on this long day. We came out strong in doubles against Georgia Tech and started the match hot. In singles, the team battled tough and secured the clinch as Jurabek (Karimov) and Taha (Baadi) finished their matches out on wins. Against Campbell, we fought from the beginning and never looked back. Now, we look to a big weekend as we welcome UNC, Pfeiffer, Duke and NC Wesleyan. We hope to have a good crowd this Easter weekend." - Coach Bresky
