"It was nice to start the season with a win," Interim Head Coach Mark Rodel said. "The guys came out and executed exceptionally well. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the match against Boise State. We played some strong doubles, led by
Kyler Hartman and
Yohann Prinsen at No. 3 doubles. We had to move
Lukas Ridemar from the lineup and that definitely affected the team. Boise came out and dominated the match. Overall I am pleased with the general attitude and effort. We know what we need to work on from here on out. We look forward to next week and this is a solid start to the year."
