former No. 2 singles player from Arizona State before transferring…went 4-3 overall in singles action during
the fall …went 7-1 in doubles action and won the doubles title of the Bulldog Classic with teammate Michael

Coach Anger on Drabble:
“For Derek, it's not about learning new shots, it's harnessing the shots he has and learning how to use them
as he's playing. He has gone from looking good, but maybe struggling against everyone to looking good and
making life difficult for everyone else on the court. If he keeps progressing, he might have the biggest serve
of anyone ever at Washington.”

he understands his own game better and knows what he can and can't do on the court. He is playing within
himself and is that much more solid. If Patrik is playing the way that I think he can play, he might be the guy
that starts out at No. 2 for our team.”

Coach Anger on Ricks:
“Mike is really well-rounded and has really improved now that he's been healthy.
Mike really sees that he has the responsibility to work hard and be a leader for us.
He's earned the right to be starting for us in singles and doubles. I know he's looking
forward to it and I'm looking forward to it too.”
Coach Anger on Rosinski:
“Our plan is to red-shirt Alex this season. I compare him to a golfer that just strikes the ball the same every
time. He hits a real clean ball, but he is just a little inconsistent. We're getting him going on developing a style
of play that suits him physically and his personality. He's got a great attitude and is working hard on the right
things.”
