QUOTABLE

“Today was another great day of tennis,” Baylor head coach Joey Scrivano said. “I’m proud of the ladies and how hard they competed. They did a great job of starting strong and continued that momentum through the second round of doubles and singles. I like the direction we are headed, and tomorrow is a big day for us. It’s always tough when the fatigue starts to set in and I’m excited to see how we respond tomorrow.”
