CATCHING UP WITH COACH SUNDLING:
"We did a great job today of resetting over and over again when things did not go our way. We stayed in the match just long enough and squeaked it out at the very end. It was a full team effort and we really showed some resolve after losing a wild doubles point. We are looking forward to putting some focused work in this week to get ready for a tough Sacramento State team."
UP NEXT:
USF now returns home and will get back on the court a week from today at Golden Gate Park, as they welcome the Sacramento State Hornets to the City. The matches will begin at 4:00 p.m.
