Head coach Tom Shaw quotes
“Conditions were tough today, the wind kicked up and scores were up all around.”
“Ryan Haselden had a very solid round, and we got some good contributing scores from our two freshmen at the back end of the lineup.”
“We’ve got some positives to build on for tomorrow, and we’ll go back and gear up for it, and shoot a low score tomorrow.”
