POST-MATCH QUOTES
Head Coach Pablo Montana
"This was a disappointing loss today, but I take my hat off to Saint Joseph's for playing braver in the big moments. We started off on the right foot by winning the doubles point and we had great momentum in singles as Blaise won a big match. It kept going back and forth and Justice came out big today winning his match. We fought hard and I'm proud of my guys for their exceptional sportsmanship and always representing ourselves with the utmost class. This loss burns but we are going to bounce back this weekend."
