"We had another tough day for us. Sometimes bad golf happens and we need to regroup and try to figure some things out. Hopefully we can bounce back in tomorrow's final round. Our season is very long and bad rounds happen, but how we respond the next time out is extremely important for our team and its growth." -- Head Coach Scott Schroeder
