KEY QUOTES:
Georgia Head Coach Jamie Hunt
On today's match. . .
"It was an incredible atmosphere to have all these lettermen come back and honor our 1985 National Championship team. It was really special. I don't know what the total crowd was, but it had to be a couple thousand. A huge thanks to our fans for coming out and providing a great atmosphere. The doubles point was extremely close and didn't go our way, but a common thread of this team is our ability to respond after doubles and play great singles. To get all six singles wins with five of them in straight sets was a really good performance to see."

Senior Ryan Colby

"It was amazing having the alumni back. I think that really helped us with energy. Doubles were a rocky start, but I think we then had six first sets in singles and were able to get on and off pretty quick."

UP NEXT:
Georgia will head to Gainesville, Fla. for a showdown against the Gators, with match play set to begin at 5:00 p.m., ET on Thursday, April 3, at the Alfred A. Ring Tennis Complex.
