Quotable

"Another great team victory for our boys. Keiser is a great team and we expected a tough match against them," FAU Head Coach Ricardo Gonzalez said. "I am proud of the way our guys responded to take the doubles point. Line number 3 came in clutch and was able to win the match 6-4 after being down 4-3. In singles play, our number one and two players did a very good job taking care of business playing solid and discipline tennis. Both Andrei and Remi continue to prove themselves at the top of the line. I am extremely proud of the way Alex Gitin closed out his match today. He clinched in both doubles and singles and closed out his matches like a veteran. I am also extremely proud of Anthony who came in clutch in singles and doubles as well. He has been playing confident tennis this whole year and it showed in today's performance."
