QUOTABLE
- "Going on the road and playing two really good programs coming up this weekend. Saturday we're playing a good UNC Asheville team. They've got a new coach – the ex-Liberty coach. Jeff (Maren) has come in there and is going to do a tremendous job. EKU – their coaching staff always has them ready to play. I remember the last time we were there, we had a tough 4-3 match with them. I wouldn't be surprised to see two 4-3 matches with these evenly-matched teams this weekend." – WKU Women's Tennis Head Coach Greg Davis, on the upcoming matches against UNC Asheville and EKU.
