QUOTING HEAD COACH SASHA BOROS
 
We faced a good competitive Michigan team today. It’s a good experience for us to see a top ten program and we can take away a lot from today's match. We’re making progress, we just have to continue to improve. We’re going to have a couple hard-fought Big Ten battles on the road next weekend, so hopefully we can learn from today and play well next weekend.” 

UP NEXT 
Iowa (7-4, 1-1) will take their first Big Ten road trip, playing Illinois on Friday at 5 p.m. (CT) at the Atkins Tennis Center.
