** Suhani Sabharwal won 6-4, 6-4 at number five singles vs. Sami Remis of Middlebury.
** Coach Curt Speerschneider: "Lots of close ones this weekend.  We were able to close out a few, but something we're working on is closing out matches vs. quality opponents.  This was a good weekend of high-level tennis.  All of the teams are national top 15 programs, so we were right there in every match.  A few of our players are fighting injuries, so it was a great opportunity to move some or our players around to see how they compete.  We showed a lot of mental and physical toughness, which is a great characteristic when things really ramp up this spring."
