Right now the largest company we're working with is about $70 million in sales and 600 employees. I was contacted by LTV Steel a couple of years ago, when they were going down, and the program simply isn't large enough to be beneficial to those folks.

The highlight today (Sunday) would definitely be our doubles play. I thought in our doubles we played pretty gosh darn well. We hung in there and stayed strong and did some good things today.

I think we're going to play with a lot of heart next weekend. To play two teams of that caliber back-to-back over a weekend is just a great opportunity for us to get better and to show what our program is all about.

I was happy for (Kim). Today, she got a chance to be the last match on with a victory. She didn't feel good about the second and got a great start in the third and that made a world of difference.

I could spend $13 million in my region. There's certainly that need there. I could spend $13 million in each of the individual states we service.

If I were a citizen protester, I wouldn't want people reporting on me, and we don't. ... Ground Zero has had a regular protest activity at the Bangor (submarine base) front gate. We don't collect on any one of those individuals out there. They are exercising their rights and are peaceful demonstrators.

We really came out and played strong in the dubs in all three positions. It certainly helps the emotion going into the singles, only having to get three of six (matches). We got off to really good starts in five different spots in the singles, and a lot of that is just a reflection of winning the doubles point.

Established companies are existing community assets. They're time-tested, and largely what happens with small companies is they're hit with a sudden change in import competition that they don't have the internal capabilities to respond.

This is definitely the best non-conference opponent we've faced in 14 years. We had our hands full today, and they rose to the occasion. Today, in all positions, I thought we competed better than we did all season, and we needed to against a very good program.
