Coach Billy Pate on the match: "This was not your usual 6-1 match. It took some resiliency from several guys and a great team effort to get the win today. I really feel our tough schedule has helped us for these situations. Penn competed hard and really played well in singles, but I felt our team withstood the challenge when the match was in question. We'll have a good week of practice and get ready for a road trip to Brown and Yale next weekend." |
