Illinois State is an excellent team, and it would be great if we could step up and come away with a win.

It was a pretty good weekend for us. Getting our first conference win was important. Especially missing one of our starters, that was a big boost of confidence for us.

It's hard not to be concerned about the way we're playing. I don't think we're playing our best tennis.

Everyone came to play today. It was electrifying.

It's tough when you're trying to compete as best you can, but then certain players can't practice everyday because of various wrist or elbow injuries.

They're feeling great right now after four straight wins. Now we'll see if we can ride that into conference play. It doesn't get any easier from here on out.

Against Western Michigan on Sunday, we were up and down. For a game or two we would make too many unforced errors. They were a very smart team, very disciplined from start to finish.

The win over Cincinnati was huge for us. We were missing one of our starters, so everyone had to step it up. They did the job on Saturday.

We've been working toward getting everybody healthy in practice. They showed a lot of heart out there today. It was an all-around effort.

We didn't really play doubles the way we know how. We were out there just hitting balls at certain points, not really trying to utilize our strategy. We need to learn to stick with what is working in a match until the opposition proves that those methods aren't working. That's something we really need to get after in practice.
