QUOTABLES FROM COACH KRIESE
"I am very pleased with the way that the guys focused, concentrated and worked hard the entire day," said head coach Chuck Kriese. "They have gotten very good reps at taking care of leads and carrying leads. Methodist is a well-known tennis school that had a former women's player that trained professional coaches and teachers. They are well-coached, have a lot of pride in their program, and the competition was very good. We take court again tomorrow and will have to be ready to go against Lehigh and Richmond."

UP NEXT
The Bulldogs will next host Lehigh and Richmond on Sunday, March 10. The Citadel tangle with Richmond at 10 a.m. and Lehigh at 3 p.m.
