Post-Tournament Comments
Head Coach John Fields
On the win: Our upperclassmen did a great job in tough conditions. Beau and Gavin, with 68 and 69, were outstanding. Kramer's 72 was equally solid. Their combined experience served us well. Our freshmen are gaining valuable experience and bringing a lot to the table.
