This team always looks to do the next, right thing. I am very proud of this team and their work ethic along with their attitude. They have already starting thinking about practice tomorrow and the next match.
"I want to credit Ayrton Wibowo. Although he may not have played his best match today, he competed hard," said McCuen. "Our team expects each member to compete hard all of the time, especially when they are not playing their best tennis. We are still growing and maturing as a team. We still have a lot of tennis to play this year and we are excited about the progress this team has made and will continue to make," said McCuen.
