COACH’S QUOTES
Head coach Mark Weaver on today’s matchup…
“Every SEC match is a battle and Arkansas played well today. There were some positives to take from the match, starting with the doubles point. Arkansas has won some impressive doubles points this season, so coming away with that opening point was great. Overall I am pleased with the day, now we have a quick turnaround and play a good Missouri team Sunday.”
