“Always happy to get a road win in the SEC,” said head coach Taylor Fogleman. “Kentucky, despite its record, is a formidable team that has competed hard throughout the season. They were more ready than we were in doubles, and I think that showed, but our ladies’ response in singles was exemplary. We need that level all the way through, match in and match out, and I think they know that. I believe we’ll have that on Saturday and throughout the business end of the season. It was a comprehensive singles performance, to say the least, and now we’ll get rested up and ready to go against Tennessee on Saturday.”
