Romain is a tough out. A lot of guys underestimate him, but you really have to beat him. If he's going to lose, he's going to go down fighting.

It's always good to start off conference play by beating a tough opponent. Everyone battled today and it was satisfying to see Romain come back from down a set. Now we have to get ready for another tough Mountain West match.

Romain is going to be critical. He's definitely been working hard this fall and he's made some adjustments to his game.
