Coach's Quote

"You can see by the scores how close everything was. Any time you are winning or losing in a third set tiebreaker, it's a matter of a couple of points going your way or not. Vlad and Wisse did a great job of hanging in there and giving everything they had on a day where we did not do our best singles-wise. It would be easy for us to be upset with the outcome, but I think this close, tough match will help us stay focused and hungry." – ECU Head Coach Shawn Heinchon
