"Today was a great team win. We got off to a really slow start, which was not a surprise because of how hard the course was playing. The guys kept battling and the three sophomores carried the load today. They showed the potential of what we can do in the future. This will hopefully be the first of many wins for them. Phil played after the first 6 holes. It was too bad that missed an eagle putt on the last hole because it would have been a great way to tie for the win. He now has a win and two seconds this year which is pretty good." -- Head Coach Scott Schroeder
