It's tough to get swept on your home field. It's a real disappointment of a weekend.

It's a big weekend, a very competitive weekend. After a little disappointment down in L.A. (against UCLA and USC), we look at this as an opportunity. And now we are ready to compete and defend Mac Court.

The results are nothing to write home about, ... disappointment.

We can strengthen ourselves to be a team that's resting on Wild Card weekend and earning a home playoff game to advance. If you do that, that's a significant step toward the ultimate goal of winning a world championship. It doesn't guarantee anything, but to me, that's next on the wish list.

Be home by midnight or you can't have the car this weekend.

I think it's going to be tough playing in Des Moines over the weekend because Drake has a home court advantage. We are going to continue our same strategy, which is winning the doubles point and winning down low. If we keep our course, I think we will be in good shape.
