ASSISTANT COACH ANDREA CALIGIANA
"It was another extremely physical day. Francisco and Oskar showed their mental and physical toughness again today. The level of the second doubles match of the day against UNC was extremely high. We executed really well in the big moments. Francisco took care of business in the singles this morning, which is really important in a tournament like this. I am proud of Oskar for bouncing back in doubles. He's had a great run in singles. We are so proud of him"
