Head Coach Lee Taylor Walker on the win:
"It was great to get back outside this weekend to familiarize ourselves again with outdoor play. We are so grateful for our home facility and think BFTC is one of the most beautiful facilities in college tennis, so whenever it's matched with beautiful weather like today- the enjoyment level is off the charts. The start of season has been really good for our team. There are a lot of programs that would give anything to be in our standing right now. Our players have worked really hard on and off the court to become the team that they are. Although the start has been great, there are also several areas we can improve. Each player knows certain things that have to develop if we want to take it to another level, and that's what we plan to do this week. We are going to remain consistent at our positivity, clear communication, and daily improvement. There is no limit for this team if they keep this focus."
Up Next: The Frogs are back at home for on Sunday, Feb. 19 against LSU. First serve is set for 1 p.m.
