Quotes
"It was it was a good win for us, a good clean win across the board. I think it started with some quality doubles play. We threw some teams out there that hadn't really played together much and got some good results with that after some good starts. I felt like we were definitely the more talented team, but we still have to do things the right way. And it was good to see us do things the right way." – Duke head coach Jamie Ashworth
"It's a fun place to play and it's been a great home for us the last couple of years. I think our team feeds off of each other really well and feeds off of that energy of the crowd really well. It's great to have people out. The people that come out and watch us have played such a big role over the years. We lost once or twice the last couple of years at home, one indoors and one outdoors. And it's because it's a great place to play and a great atmosphere for our kids to play in." – Duke head coach Jamie Ashworth on playing inside Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center
"It was really exciting. We were all super anxious to get out there again. I really missed it ever since we finished in May, so it's super exciting to be out there." – Duke sophomore Emma Jackson
Next Match
Duke will host Charleston Southern on Sunday, Jan. 15 at 10 a.m., followed by Charlotte as well at 5 p.m., inside Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center.
