KEY QUOTE:
Georgia Head Coach Jamie Hunt
On the doubles matches…
"It started with the mindset. We came really locked in. We were on a mission, and these guys were really focused and determined to get out of here with a win. I thought we started doubles exceptionally well at one and three, really getting off to an early break and establishing our game plans and identity. Two went down a break but did a great job fighting back. I thought our doubles were really good overall. We're continuing to take a step in the right direction with our doubles, and we are improving."

On the singles matches…
"Our singles were awesome from Miguel. He's playing at an incredibly high level right now. He's so physical, he is staying humble with his game, and he's hungry. He's doing a tremendous job for us, leading the way at number one against every team's best player. I'm really happy for him and proud of him that his hard work is paying off. Oscar was exceptional again at number four, beating a really good player and taking care of business. Gabriele at six with two matches in a row where he's really played some good tennis where he's handled the big moments exceptionally well."

UP NEXT: Georgia is back home next Saturday, Mar. 15 at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex against Mississippi State. Doubles are set to commence at 1:00 p.m. E.T.
