against alone believing best compete doubles extremely matched matter north ourselves played pleased proved team top
Overall, I am pleased with today. We didn't play as well in doubles as we can and that was disappointing. However, we played extremely well in singles. I thought that we played UNC the best that we have played any top-20 team this season, let alone a top-10 team. We matched up well against North Carolina. It was a matter of believing that we can compete with top teams, and I think we proved that to ourselves today.
aggressive ball difference doubles girls helped hit inside match playing
I think the difference in the match may have come down to playing doubles inside. They play very aggressive doubles, and it really helped them being inside because they've got some girls that hit the ball with a lot of power.

I was especially pleased with the doubles against Western Michigan. I thought it was real important that we take the doubles point in that match.
came doubles won
It came down to the doubles point. There are no excuses, we should have won the doubles point. That was the match.
both doubles doubt last played point season singles split twice
We played twice last season and split matches. I wouldn't doubt if the singles split this weekend. The doubles point is going to be very important for both teams.
against early easier might road teams
In hindsight, it might have been better if we scheduled some easier road teams early in the season. We have yet to play a team that we are favored against on the road.

I want to see us get back to the level we were playing at right before spring break.

Ohio State is a little down right now. We match up well with them.

It's definitely going to be a challenge for us (to go 2-0). Win or lose, we're going to see the things we need to work on.

We had the opportunity to win at doubles. We really had the match going our way, but we couldn't close.

We expected some trouble at that match. That was the one (match) I was most pleased about.

Brianna and Sigrid did especially well because (Penn State) has been winning at the three, four and five positions. It was a good start to the Big Ten season.

Alba hasn't won in the last few matches, so it was good to see her step up today.

I was pleased with the way those four girls went out and kicked (their opponents) off the court.
