THOUGHTS FROM THE TOP...
"We got off to a slow start but then bounced back nicely. Unfortunately, we failed to play the last hole or two as well as we needed to. The middle of the day was great. We just need to keep grinding on this course against this competitive field." - Head coach Scott Schroeder

UP NEXT
The Ospreys continue tournament action in the TCI with second round play on Monday. UNF will be paired with Cal and LSU beginning on Hole 1 at 8:50 a.m.
