Steve Rodecap Quotations

I felt confident with what we had left out there, that we could get another point.

(Hagan) is playing at a pretty high level for a freshman. ...We've been at home which I think helps them (the freshmen) too.

I was as shocked as could be. I felt confident with how we were playing.

That's the level these guys want to be at.

We're just still searching, just trying to find out what teams are the best.

We're not going to sleep well until Sunday, until we can get back out there.

When you got people down, you gotta keep them down.

When you get punched in the gut there are two ways you can react. You can put your fists up and fight or you can run away.

We had a couple of tough practices after the DePaul match and just worked on our intensity.

After Wednesday, we had a pretty intense week of practice.

In doubles we got off to a fairly good start, with the exception of number one.

If there's anything I know about this team, it's that Brett will rebound.

In the first match Ian got off the court pretty quickly, and that's what we're looking for. The old guys are learning to appreciate the young guys and how talented they are.

You can't expect anything just because you work hard in practice. You've got to work hard every time you lace up your shoes.

There is no way we win this match (earlier in the season). We're playing with three freshmen which is rare for (college tennis), and it's taken them a while to gel as a team.

We just wanted to use the match as a chance to get out in the conditions, the heat and the sun, before the tournament.
