"I felt like we played a really hard-working team," stated head coach
Chad Camper. "I felt like they really pushed us in some spots. We were actually down in a few singles matches.
"Polina lost the first, but to be able to win the second set 6-0 and then win in a super was great. Anna was down pretty much most of the beginning, but she was able to fight through it."
UTC stays in Nashville for tomorrow's match against Belmont. The Mocs take on the Bruins at 7:00 p.m. (E.S.T.) at the Centennial Sportsplex.
"We have another tough match tomorrow," continued Camper. "We play Belmont, who just beat Central Arkansas 4-3. It is going to be a really good match tomorrow."
