Clemson vs. Winthrop Post-Match Quotes

May 9, 2008

Clemson Head Coach Nancy Harris

On her impressions of the team’s performance: “Overall, I thought we were a little bit rusty. It’s been two weeks since we’ve been competing, and we came out rusty. To Winthrop’s credit, they put a lot of balls in play and didn’t beat themselves. They made us beat them. But we’re happy to have this win.”

On the focus in the doubles matches: “I was pleased with our doubles. I actually think we played better in doubles than singles today. I liked our intensity. But we’ve got to be better tomorrow.”

On the next opponent, Michigan “They have a lot of depth. We need to try to counter their depth and court position. They have some good athletes. I expect a challenge.”

Winthrop Head Coach Cid Carvalho

Clemson is a great team; I hope they go all the way now. I thought we played them a good match; it was a good effort by our girls, and I’m very proud of the season we had.”
