Quotes

"I thought our energy level was much better in doubles. To lose two tiebreakers is emotionally crushing, when we invested so much emotionally to it.We just didn't respond well in singles. At the start, we were down pretty much across the board.It's a learning experience for us in that we have be ready no matter what happens with the singles or doubles on an emotional level. We definitely were not [today]." – Duke head coach Jamie Ashworth
