QUOTING COACH MORROW
"We won the doubles point pretty handily. In singles, Dom was lights out. I didn't see a play because he won the match so quickly. Daniel picked it up and played well. Solar at three, tie breakers everywhere and a good battle. He stuck to the game plan. Luke came to the net and played comfortably and fast. Donovan played against a really good player, but just couldn't get points when he needed it. In his first match, David actually clinched the match for us. I really liked what we saw, hopefully we can get on the winning track."

Wayne State will play at Indianapolis on March 5th at 4:00 PM.
