Coach Hart's Comments on the Match:
"I was impressed with the way we played tonight throughout the line-up. Eastern is a much improved team and it's always a challenge to play a second match of the day. I felt like we did a good job getting off to good starts on all the courts and our players made appropriate adjustments when necessary. We will enjoy our wins this weekend and get back to work on Monday for a very important road weekend with our final nonconference matches. GO COUGS!"
