Brian Boland Quotations

Baylor is probably one of the best programs ever brought to Charlottesville in a long time.

Baylor has been tested. They have enjoyed tremendous college success.

Give credit to Illinois, they played well and they deserved to win. We need matches like this; we're just better because of this.

To come in play at home and beat a team of this caliber is a result we are happy with. I'm really proud of where we are at.

I would say that Notre Dame is a top-10, top-15 team. It's a strong club and they're only going to get better. VCU is another underrated club. They're as good as anybody we've played this year. We had an absolutely grueling match with them.

I think each guy's getting a little better each day; our confidence is rising as a team, and we're starting to play better.

I think Doug is starting to take it to another level.

We're a tough team to beat. When we win the doubles point, that really makes a difference for us. That's something we've always emphasized in our program, and there's been no difference in our approach this week.

We need to be in these situations, and that's why I made the schedule so competitive day after day.

We'll keep mixing it up a little bit. There are certain areas we need to improve in.

Even though we lost Bobby, a lot of these guys have had a lot of game experience the last two or three years. We're confident they're going to step up and do a good job for us like they did today.

The student body and community have been unbelievable in supporting the team and the program. I am also thrilled with the involvement and interest our alumni have taken. I know the players have also appreciated all the support at their matches and around town. People have been so good to the team, and they love playing in front of a great home crowd.

It's a tough stretch, but we knew that when we scheduled everything. I think we're fine. Guys still have a lot of energy and good things are coming our way.

It was a disappointing loss. I know this team will be ready for the NCAA Tournament, which is something we have worked for all year. Duke played a good match today and they deserved to win. The conference is so strong from top to bottom, and it was a grueling event.

I am proud of the way the team enjoys one another and really pushes each other to get better. I am also pleased with the development of the players and how much they have grown as people and tennis players.

The guys have to realize that every day we need everyone's effort like we did on Sunday against Duke. We've had too many instances this year where some guys stepped up and the others relied on each other almost too much.
