four girls kicked pleased
I was pleased with the way those four girls went out and kicked (their opponents) off the court.
girls good russian
That wasn't a surprise. Those two Russian girls are very good players.
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.
expected pleased trouble
We expected some trouble at that match. That was the one (match) I was most pleased about.
match opportunity win
We had the opportunity to win at doubles. We really had the match going our way, but we couldn't close.
five four good start ten winning
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.
lose ok pleased singles team three win
We did OK -- not great. Normally, a team can't win if they lose at the one, two and three singles positions, so I was pleased we could win at the bottom.
college dual freshmen great tennis
I thought it was a great day for our freshmen to get used to college tennis and dual matches.
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.
against doubles pleased point western
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.
call definitely ncaa successful
If we make the NCAA Championships, you definitely have to call it a successful season.
knew matches top tough
We knew we were going to have two very tough matches at the top two (singles positions).
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.
good
We have to play awfully well (to win). I think if we get off to a good start, it will be a good match.
