POSTGAME REACTION FROM MATT HELSEL
Overall thoughts on the match: We beat a very good UDC team today. We were solid in doubles and that point gave us some needed margin heading into singles. Our top 3 singles players all went the distance and were very tough, winning two of three of those third sets. Our depth was what really separated us today. Sweeping the bottom half of the lineup was great and being solid there is what will make all the difference in the spring. Could be a fun year.
