QUOTE BOARD: HEAD COACH KENDALL BROOKS
"Today was tough. We came out here to play top-tier competition and UC San Diego gave it to us. They are a solid top-20 team. I thought we started slow in doubles, but were able to play well in singles. We are a young team, and this was a good experience for us."
