From Coach Bresky
“It’s great to get back home. So much credit goes to the best fans in the country. It was a great atmosphere. Baylor has a very good team, we were coming off of a loss to them at their place last weekend. I think boys were motivated. It was nice to play a couple of high quality out-of-conference matches. It was a long, tough weekend. We’re excited to get ready for the ACC season starting Friday.”” – Head coach Tony Bresky
