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

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

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.

That wasn't a surprise. Those two Russian girls are very good players.

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.

We have to play awfully well (to win). I think if we get off to a good start, it will be a good match.

We knew we were going to have two very tough matches at the top two (singles positions).

Overall, I'm pleased with the way we competed. That's the best we've played a top-20 team -- let alone a top-10 team.

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.
