It is a great day for Virginia tennis. Both the men's and women's tennis programs, we are all really fortunate to be part of something so special..

Around here you never underestimate a match with a Virginia Tech team in anything. There's a very positive and strong rivalry there. We know they're going to bring their very best. We're not looking beyond them at all and we know that we'll have to play very well to win.

I think our morale and confidence is good right now and certainly winning helps that. Overall the team knows that the work they put in has led to some real good results and rewards for them. I think our morale and confidence is as high as it could possibly be.

We are really happy for the kids and were impressed with their level of play today. Richmond is a solid squad and we had to play well to beat them. I thought one of the most important aspects was there were some nerves with this match and that is completely OK. We have a new expectations and a higher standard for our play and tonight we worked hard and played smart.

Miami has produced results which speak to them being a great team. We've done a little bit of the same, but we can't control what Florida State or Miami will do. However, we can certainly try to play on their weaknesses. Hopefully we know what we can do and what we can control.

It's great to start 3-0. It's good for these girls because they haven't been through a process where they have won a lot of matches in the beginning of the season. They are seeing the results of their practices.

Everyone feels confident she will be ready. The last part of recovery, I think, is more mental than physical.

All we're focused on is Virginia Tech. We're going to review our notes from the previous match. Unfortunately, looking ahead is a great mistake that young kids make. They can get a little ahead of themselves. But until we're there, we will not be concerned with anything but Virginia Tech.

It's a real challenge -- I don't think that just because you're away you expect a lesser result. But there are different factors in terms of playing tennis. The courts are different. Their courts are a little faster.

It doesn't matter how much milk you spill, just so long as you don't lose the cow.
