Quoting Assistant Coach Graeme Cox:
"The team is looking forward to going to San Diego this week for our conference tournament. We are ready and rested and hopefully all of our preparation this year will pay off this week. Nick Coutts and Tomasz Grzyb will be playing their last conference matches for Utah this week and their contribution to Utah tennis has been great. They helped to raise the program back into the national spotlight and hopefully have inspired other team members to reach for greatness."
