IU head coach Ramiro Azcui on match against Iowa
"Last time out against Iowa we were a part of a great college match and lost a close 4-3 on their home courts. The match came down to just a handful of points on a few courts after we made a big comeback in the singles. We will have different matchups at all three doubles positions and four of the six singles matches when we play them this week. In addition, we're now playing at a neutral site and likely playing outdoors. All of these factors will make it a completely different match. Iowa is rock solid at every position and they will compete hard. I expect this to be another tight match, and we are really excited to get another shot at them."
