Thoughts from Coach Southern

"The guys came out with tremendous energy.  There was no negativity on the court at all as they were supporting each other.  Probably the best match my two's and three's have actually played all year to blow them out.  They are really strong up and down in doubles.  They have been up in most of their matches after doubles this year.  For us, that is our 19 of 20 match this year where we have been up after doubles.  So that really set the tone for singles cause we knew it was going to be very even in singles.  Roll Storm."
