When asked about today's result, Head Coach Robert McAdoo had this to say: "Very disappointed in today's performance. Doubles was solid, and I thought we had the momentum, but it quickly turned. The guys that normally come through for us did not come through. We talk about our weaknesses and try to attack them. So obviously I have to do a better job preparing this team. Changes will be made."
