I thought it was a good match. We played well and it is good preparation for our conference matches coming up. It is always nice to win the last one for the seniors.

I thought it was great that we got a chance to play today. It was good to get that last bit of work in before we head to conference.

I am really pleased with the focus the kids are showing in these matches. Ever since spring break, I have just sensed a different team. I feel that they really want to prove themselves and their confidence and attitude is really at a high.

There was an opportunity to change things up a bit and get some new chemistry going. It was really great the way that we played. A couple of teams had never played and I felt we had to do something different.

I think that we did a good job today to get back on track. It has been a difficult week. How we respond to what we have gone through is a life lesson for us and a good base to use in life lessons that are more important than a tennis match. To turn things around and make things better the rest of the season is a life lesson that they can store away and fall back on and use when things are difficult. I thought the way they approached today and how they played was a great way to respond to my challenge.

I don't think it's changed our preparation or anything like that. Obviously, you want your leader around, but we've got to go and our guys understand that, and I'm sure they'll be up for the challenge.
