Final Stats
Overall thoughts on the Conference USA win over the Miners
"Today was way too close for comfort. I thought we did a good job in doubles securing the 1-0 lead which in turn helped us to the victory. I have to give credit to UTEP today. They came out fighting and didn't go down quietly. I told the girls beforehand that they were not going to roll over since we defeated them a month ago. However, it was a great collegiate environment with all the UTEP fans there and I really give my girls credit that they didn't succumb to the external factors."
On the team's singles match performance
"Our singles play could have been much better. In several spots, we didn't adjust and try different things. We did a better job yesterday (at New Mexico State) controlling the rally early. When you are playing a team that really wants a revenge win, you had better be offensive quickly or you end up chasing balls and playing defense."
On what her team does in preparation for next weekend's matches in Kansas
"We are going to regroup this week after a day off and go back to work on the little things that separate us from national prominence. Our next match is Kansas so we are going to work hard on and off the court and do our best to keep improving."
On her feelings on the team's performance all week long
"This was a great weekend for us. Winning two tough 4-3 battles does a lot for this young team's confidence. I am starting to see the little changes we discuss daily really begin to make a difference, especially in tie-break situations. With that being said, it only reiterates that they are continuing to learn and will continue to improve immensely."
