Ricardo Gonzalez, FAU's Director of Tennis
"I'm proud of our girls for another good team victory today. ETSU brings a lot of energy and intensity when they play, but our girls were calm and composed when it mattered. Tomorrow is another opportunity to get better and practice some things that we didn't do so well today."
