POSTMATCH QUOTES

Second Round - Baylor 4 vs. TCU 0 - May 10, 2003

Baylor head coach Matt Knoll:
(on winning the doubles point)
"The biggest thing is the momentum factor. All the doubles matches were very competitive. Mike Garcia and Benjamin Becker had a lot of energy and enthusiasm."

(on advancing in the tournament)
"This match builds momentum going into Athens. The atmosphere in Athens is great, but we have to go ready to win matches. We have to continue to play hard and better. There is still a lot to prove for this program."

(on the match)
"Benedikt Dorsch and Benjamin Becker are great guys, and we have a lot of confidence in them. We were a different team tonight and it was great that we had a good crowd here."

TCU head coach Joey Rive
(on the doubles point)
"It was a huge factor. When you have a team as good as Baylor, you have to get up on them. Their guys did a great job of not worrying about it. It was too much pressure to get over the hump."

(on Baylor advancing in the tournament)
"I see Baylor as top six team in the country, and they have a legitimate shot of going far. Right down the line, they really have no weaknesses."

(on the TCU team)
"We have a very young team. We are only losing our No. 2 guy and our No. 1 guy is a junior. Our guys did a great job. I think we were in it the whole time, it just turned out that Becker and Dorsch played better in the end."

(on the atmosphere)
"Of course we would have liked to be hosting. When they've got the crowd and your guys are struggling, it just becomes too much."
