We knew West was tough. No doubt about it. Belleville West is a very good team.

There were a lot of really, really close matches. It was a battle between two pretty evenly-matched teams. Danville was a little stronger up top than us tonight, but we were pretty solid in the middle and the bottom.

It was one of those marathon tennis matches. With the tournament all day (today), it's going to make it pretty tough on these guys.

We were behind going into singles and these guys kept battling. They kept fighting and played some great singles matches. It's a great way to start the season.

We built a little momentum over the weekend.

Our schedule is a load and it's a baptism by fire. We have no easy non-conference matches.
