U-M Assistant Coach Sean Maymi
On today's match... "I thought our feet were a little flat in that first game. Not to make any excuses, but we were anticipating on playing at noon and ended up playing five hours later. Their feet weren't moving and they got broken there in the beginning. It was just an uphill battle from that point. We were never able to really sink our teeth into the match at all. It's a bit disappointing because I thought they took such great steps yesterday."
