ODU HEAD COACH DOMINIK MUELLER ON VCU MATCH
Losing sucks, but today we left it all out there and played very well. VCU is ranked 29th for a reason and we forced them to play their best tennis to beat us which is all I can ask for from my guys. It was a 4-3 dual match with Francois (LeTallec) and Younes (Lalami) being up a break in their third sets. If we get one of those 7-5 or 7-6 sets, we are most likely facing a last match for the win and I wish we could've gotten to that situation and battled it out.
