POSTGAME REACTION FROM HEAD COACH MATT HELSEL
Overall thoughts on the win: "One of my favorite things is beating a team that beat us last year.  To do in the first match of the spring, and to do it in such a big turnaround- from losing 2-5 to winning 6-1- is extremely satisfying.  We have such a young and talented team, but tonight we relied on our most experienced players, and they were fantastic.  Zach and Dylan got us started with a dominating performance.  Singles was difficult at the top of the lineup, but they battled hard and allowed the rest of our lineup to really settle in and get into a great rhythm.
 
As happy as I am with this complete performance, I can't be any prouder than I am for Lino Morin.  He's struggled and played through injuries the last two years.  To see him play tonight was a treat.  So happy for him and he really deserves to enjoy this one.  I think we all can get spoiled with how lucky we are to do what we do and it's easy to take things for granted, but I know Lino truly appreciated simply the ability to just play.  Playing well and winning were just bonuses."
