QUOTEABLES
Jordan Benjamin
"I wanted to use some of the tactics and strategies I saw at Kentucky in the match today and felt it went well. I played really solid last week and wanted to keep it going into this week."

"It feels really good to get the win, especially in our first Atlantic 10 matchup. We had a lot of energy today from one singles down to six. We just want to keep winning and send a message to the rest of the A-10, so this was a good start."

Zach Berry
"It feels great getting that first conference win. Tensions are always pretty high in conference matches and it was great to see our team respond the way we did."

"Our focus going into George Mason is to keep up our intensity and get a W. With two conference wins we will be sending a statement to the rest of the Atlantic 10."
