Quotable...
"Travis (Trace) had a really good week. Three of his last four rounds this fall have been 66 or lower, which is really impressive. The rest of the guys never really got things going this week. Too many small mistakes that prevented them from going low. Overall, the fall season was quite solid after a tough start. We need to take a break now and get refreshed for the Spring." -- Head coach Scott Schroede
