"I liked the way we played and competed tonight," Director of Tennis

"It wasn't an easy match for us to squeeze in during the conference season but these guys just absolutely love to compete and they want to do it on the biggest stages and against the best players. There is no bigger stage in college tennis than the University of Georgia and it was fun watching us go out and play with no fear."
