"Enrique's match today was a great opportunity for him to play a competitor that is seasoned and been in high-pressure situations before," said head coach Adam Schaechterle. "I think that Enrique learned that college tennis is more than just shots and movement; that there is a lot happening in between points. He definitely learned from the experience today, and although I wish that we could have learned by winning, I am really happy that he was in the position that he was today."
