HEAD COACH ANGELO ANASTOPOULO
"We continued to play good doubles today, however we're still struggling with staying at a high-level in our singles play. We have to do a better job as coaches to find a solution to this. Georgia Southern deserves a lot of credit for their intensity throughout the whole match. It's something we need to strive for."
