Liz is certainly taking advantage of her playing time today! Her serve is really good. She might take the first singles point!

I have no doubts we will be fine. Really need Daria to get over this mental hump that is consistently plaguing her in team matches.
Yeah agree! She's talented enough, but we can't have a liability at any spot! Hopefully she gets a match in the tourney where she turns it around and get some confidence and swagger going
Nicole turned on murder mode in sets 2 and 3. Drops the first set but regains the momentum and match sticks sets 2 and 3. Well done.
Nicole sure did turn it around after losing that first set !!
Daria seems to have regained her momentum. She struggles with consistent players (pushers). Just rally and move them around more. She's got the ground strokes to do it.
I think, too, team matches require incredible focus. It's easy to get distracted and lose your way.

Aggies win 7-0. Some fairly competitive matches. Team did well to win them all. Gig'em!
Impressed with Boyer today. Solid player for sure. Lexington is going to be special and I'm calling it now…Lu will win an ncaa singles title here. She is just a baller.
Mia was adjusting to something during singles. I am not sure what, but I'm not worried long term versus better opponents.
Hopefully Nicole's hammy getting wrapped was mainly precautionary. She seemed to move ok/really turn it on after getting wrapped after the first set.
60 consecutive home match wins. Would be interesting to know if there are any other comparable winning streaks in the Texas A&M athletics history books. I know the men's tennis team had a bit of a run several years back.
My wife wishes they sold the team gear. It's better looking than much of what is sold today for a like for like item or you can't buy a like for like item. Seems like with the tennis skirt trend A&M is missing out on revenue.
I've found that A&M does a poor job licensing the brand. Found several items that tu and most other major universities have that A&M does not. Goodr sunglasses, Pop A Shot, etc. Not sure if we're difficult to work with, jave high fees, or won't let many use the brand.

I would like to see Liz and Daria play.
I would, too. Liz played lights out on Sunday, with some great serves, whilst Daria played two really good sets around a hiccup set. If both are on they might be very, very good together.
I was also pleasantly surprised to see Liz and Lex paired on Sunday. I spent a lot of time watching that match over the other two doubles matches and the same with their singles matches simply because I have not seen them play as much as the others and wanted to see how they did. Same with Daria.

- UGA stays a #1 seed despite losing at home to UNC
- Auburn seeded below Stanford despite beating #3 OK State 4-0, and a far better resume than the Cardinal
- OK State drops below UCLA and Michigan after their Auburn loss
- Not much love for LSU from the committee https://t.co/jDhMnqOSjM
i think that we have a great draw! facing the winner of okst and texas is good. avoiding UCLA and Michigan until the semis. I hope we face okst, first because we will already play texas and second because if they get all their pieces on campus/healthy they will be a really good team. getting an early win on them and them having success after is ideal for NCAA seeding. Allow UM and UCLA to beat each other then take care of the other. I think Michigan is the better team indoors because they play 80+% of their matches indoors while UCLA like us never plays indoors unless absolutely necessary.
Carolina is looking at two rematches already if they keep winning. Lost to Virginia 3-4, beat Georgia 4-3.

It will be interesting to watch #3 and #4. They are both so good but I could see Mia at #3 for indoors and LuLu moving up to #3 for outdoors.

Not sure why we can't get specific UTRs for all of them, but based on the current UTR ratings Mia and Lucciana are interchangeable and it might come down to who Mark thinks matches up best in specific matches.
