"I never really know who's
ranked and who's not," said Vidal, a
native of Venezuela. "I'm not from
here so I don't know many of the
American girls who are ranked. I
found out she was ranked when I
went on Facebook after the match
and thought it was really cool. It
gives you confidence."
Tess Bernard-Feigenbaum
went 3-1 in doubles play and,
alongside Vidal, was the only other
Boilermaker to go undefeated in
singles play. She defeated Denver's
Gracia Mboko and Drake's Summer
Bills in straight sets while going the
distance against Ana Vladutu of De
-
Paul in a 7-6 (7-2), 7-6 (7-2) win.
"It was a tough match," Ber-
nard-Feigenbaum said. "I just told
myself to take one point at a time,
stay calm and trust my shots and I
ended up coming out with the win.
I felt a little bit rusty in the first cou-
ple of matches, but as they went on
I felt more comfortable."
With six of seven members
back from last season's NCAA Tour-
nament team and the addition of
talented Miami (Fla.) transfer Debo-
rah Suarez, Glitz said she expects
more from her team moving for-
ward than she saw in the Purdue
Invitational.
"We have the capability of be-
ing a great team, but we have to
prove it," Glitz said. "The pieces are
there. It's just the matter of every-
one stepping up to the plate. It's not
like we don't have the talent or don't
have the lineup. I know that and I'm
pretty sure the team knows that."
Vidal, who called this year's
team the most talented in her four
years at Purdue, said the Boiler-
makers' problems can be corrected
quickly.
"We need to work on being
more intense from the beginning
to the end," Vidal said. "This gives
us motivation to keep training so it
doesn't happen again."
Purdue will get a chance to
right its ship quickly over the week-
end at Clemson where it will play
No. 43 Washington Saturday morn-
ing and No. 13 Clemson or No. 62
Winthrop Sunday.
"Whoever we play, we have to
be ready to play," Glitz said. "That's
what I personally wanted to see
this weekend, and I haven't seen it.
That's what we need."
