Dustin Hinson. “We had a great time at No. 3 doubles, and it was a battle at No. 1 and No. 2. We did a good job of stepping up in big moments and pulling out matches. Singles was another battle, top to bottom, and we kept going with our momentum, playing the ball and playing ourselves. We had some tight sets and tight games, but we put in the effort and I’m happy with the results. We’ll try to carry that energy into tomorrow’s game against Portland.”
