QUOTABLE
John Bernard, Assistant Coach
"In singles, both guys showed the qualities we look for, competing hard, staying focused, and fighting for every point. Jose had a great win against Memphis, which is a big boost of confidence and something he can build "
"Jose and Lucca have been playing really well together and have shown they can compete with some of the best teams in the country. They've been pushing each other to get better and are gaining more confidence every time they step on the court. They played well together and bring out the best in each other, which has helped them keep improving as a doubles team. It's been great to see the progress they've made, and I'm excited to see what they can do for the rest of the season."
