WORDS FROM COACH
"Well first of all, credit to UNF, obviously they played a good college match and we did as well. It really came down to a few points, literally, I know sometimes we say that in sports but this match today was a few points in doubles and a few points in singles as well," said Christophe Noblet. "I thought it was a heck of a battle between two very good teams and I have a feeling we're going to see each other again in a few weeks and we're going to be prepared and be ready. We have three weeks to keep getting better, we have a very tough week on the road ahead of us and we have to be ready for two very tough challenge matches and for us, since the beginning, it's been about getting better everyday and keeping that mentality."

NEXT UP
The Hatters hit the road for their final trip of the regular season. The two-game trip begins on Friday, April 5 at 2:00 PM as the Hatters head to Richmond, KY for a match with the EKU Colonels.
