Quotable...
"We had another solid day. Guys got off to a slow start and made a few bogeys on the way in that hurt us a little bit. However, we played well in the middle of the round. Dillon played like the way we've been waiting to see him play. It will be another mental grind as we go out tomorrow and look to have a strong finish on a tough course against some good teams." -- Head coach Scott Schroeder.
