Texas A&M Quotes
Head coach Steve Denton
In the day’s matches …
“We had another very solid day, winning five out of nine Gamecocks singles. After being defeated in doubles, I thought our team responded very well to the challenge. We had several sets of three today that will definitely make us better and we were able to eliminate some of them, which is great for our confidence. We have another big battle with Florida tomorrow. I hope we have a break from the weather and have a window to compete. “
