I am glad we had the opportunity to be here again and I think Florida will know that they played a match tonight." Florida Head Coach Roland Thornqvist - "Northwestern played very well. A lot of credit goes to them. Our intensity dropped a bit at a couple of the courts in the second set and they surely made us pay for it. I liked the way our team responded in the third set and that we stepped up and played better in the third set than we had in the previous part of the match." | |
