WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
Junior Spencer Richey
Coming into the fall I was mainly focused on fixing my forehand, making sure it's a weapon and so far I feel I've been able to do that really effectively to dictate points throughout the match.

On the team's success in the hidden dual format:
The team performed extremely well this weekend, especially in our match against Xavier. Everyone gets excited to play a rival like them, but our lineups collectively played good singles and doubles across the board and I can't wait to get the spring season started.
