"We feel good. I think we played with a lot of confidence and yesterday Valpo really pushed us. It looked like we were going to get the four points pretty early in the match, but they kept digging and were able to get to 3-2 and our number five and six did an amazing job of finishing out for us," said coach Jorge Caetano.
"Today against Bradley, I felt like we played some of our best tennis this season. From one through six in singles and from doubles, we played really well. We dominated them, but they're a very good team and we didn't let them get back in those matches. I'm proud of the effort and the way we played. The energy has been great, and I am really happy with the performance." Â
