HEAR FROM HEAD COACH MICHAEL WOODSON

“My goal for them was to set the tone competitively especially on the doubles, needed to work on our communication, really talk in between the two guys on each court. We worked hard on it and I was impressed with how we started today... the tone was set early, which I thought was pretty good... I thought we did a pretty good job starting fast in singles... I thought we did a really good job playing to our strengths and not losing momentum”



WHAT’S NEXT

The Bears hit the road and head to Fort Worth to take on TCU (4-1) next Thursday, February 5th at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center.
