were a really solid, well coached and confident opponent this morning. It was hard, which was exactly what we were looking for. The guys did a really good job of being disciplined, competitive and made their opponents earn every point, especially at the end
of sets. There are some things that we would certainly like to clean up and things that we could do smoother on certain courts, but I felt like the chips were down and we played our games really well, and as a team, we competed together well. It’s always good
to get a win on the road, especially against a team like William & Mary. We are looking forward to cleaning a few things up and getting ready for a great test against Virginia on Sunday.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
