MIAMI SHORES, Fla. -- The Buccaneers have advanced to the NCAA South Regional 1 Final after capturing a 4-0 victory over the Benedict Tigers. Barry will look forward to tomorrow where they will take on Lynn University at 12:00 PM.

"The guys were hungry to play today and it was a good match. I hope we come out the same mentality tomorrow and ready to play against the winner of the West Alabama/Lynn match. Hopefully we will come out firing on all eight cylinders and win the match and move on." -- Head Coach George Samuel.

"At this point there are no easy matches and we know whoever we play, it's going to be tough. Especially with the hot temperatures here in South Florida. We came out strong in doubles and played solid in singles. Ultimately, we just did our job and have to do the same thing tomorrow." - Barry's Daniel Ventura.
