HEAD COACH ANGELO ANASTOPOULO
"The better team won today. Again, we started very slow in doubles play and made a run towards the end, but it was too late. We had some great leads in singles but couldn't put away a very determined Charlotte team. We will have to regroup and prepare for Winthrop, the defending Big South Champions, on Saturday."
