HEAD COACH ADAM STEINBERG SAYS…
“College Match day is always one of the best events of the season, and it’s something I’ve been looking forward to since I accepted the job here at Florida. USTA’s campus is one of the best venues in our sport, I’ve been there a few times with teams in the past, and I can’t wait to experience the matchup with Florida State for the first time. This event means so much to the team and to our program, and I know the atmosphere is going to be great and something a lot of our guys have never experienced, so we’re all very excited to get there and compete.”
