Quote from Coach Jay Bruner: "We always want to challenge ourselves with top 25 teams whenever we can. Today, our competitiveness and focus to start doubles was much improved and I thought it helped us play smarter in singles. For Larke to get a ranked win in singles is big for him and shows how high he can take his level. We are learning from each match and making adjustments that will help us as we get into the next few weeks at home."
