Quotable...
"It was a quick turnaround for us this week. It will be a good challenge for us as we had a busy week in the classroom. It will be good to see how the guys handle the challenge of having less on course time, but still having their game in a nice place. We are excited because we always look forward to new challenges." -- Head coach Scott Schroeder
