(Hume) had opportunities to close out the first set. But he stayed on task. It's not always too easy to lose a first set like that.

It's just hard for us playing a really solid team like an Illinois.

I thought the team played really well. (But) I was really disappointed in our doubles play today.

I'm always surprised at how close these matches are and how thin the winning and losing margin is.

Illinois is an excellent team with a chance to win the national championship. They simply overpowered us today.

I am pleased with how the team fought back.

Florida is just a solid veteran team that was ranked No. 1 earlier this year. We dug ourselves a hole early and they did a good job of getting the much needed three-set win at No. 3. I thought our team fought hard today.

It's really hard to sneak a win in against teams like Florida or Illinois because they are just really solid everywhere.
