We had good matches, got exposed to a lot of good tennis, got to practice with some guys from other teams as well.
Bobby Bayliss
I think it's already affecting his play. He's hitting a bigger ball, he's taking the ball earlier, he's attacking more. We worked out individually today for about an hour, he and I, and I see a difference in the balls he's hitting.

I think the confidence winning an event like that, particularly a national event, is going to vault him into another level of capabilities of the way he'll feel about himself on the court. He's going to play with more confidence and I don't think he's going to be afraid of anything.

We know them. We anticipate another close match, a competitive match, which it usually is in this series.

Our top 3 teams all made it into the round of 32 but all of them lost in that round, and a couple of them had really close matches.

It was a really good experience for us. The La Hoya Beach and Tennis Club is a terrific place to host an event - it's right on the Pacific Ocean. The courts are in great shape. The competition was great. It was everything we wanted it to be.

When you step back from the moment of the loss and the pain and agony that goes with that and look back at what we achieved over the break, I think we have a lot to be proud of.

It shows you the quality of that win.

That was a pretty solid win in fairly hostile territory. I'm very proud of the guys, the match - it was a big match for [Florida State], they had their band out playing during the match and a lot of promotional assistance and they had a big crowd. It was a fun atmosphere in which to play.

Then we played Fresno State and had a close 4-2 with them. Stephen Bass deserves a great deal of credit for that match.
