There is a dangerous four seed in Alabama-Birmingham. They’re pretty heavy at the top [of the lineup], with good players and some good transfers.

We came out very, very flat in doubles. It was probably our worst doubles match of the year. Basically, we had six people who didn’t come out ready at all.

The first day [of the tournament] was disappointing at times. We had a few losses here and there that I think could have been avoided. However, we definitely played better as the weekend went along.

They performed better in the dual match [than in the tournament]. And that’s what we’d like to see this semester.

We still have to improve our conditioning, strategy and mentality. The improvement really will not stop until the end of the year.

This weekend is just another tune-up before the season really kicks off. [The matches] should really help us get the lineup and some new doubles pairings [prepared].

It’s going to be a good weekend. We need to work on doubles and come back ready to take on Florida State.

We have three individuals play well one day and three other individuals play well the next day, so we haven’t had all six cylinders kicking at the same time. If the team produced what they’re...

I honestly think we’re in a better situation now than we were a couple of weeks ago. Singles-wise, I think we’re still a little up-and-down, but we’re improving, and that’s going to be the key...

[Searle’s] first match is scheduled for Friday morning. But if he’s not 100 percent, there’s no need to play him.
