QUOTABLE:
"We played very solid for most of the day but just didn't make enough birdies. Last few holes we gave a few back when we had a chance to try and make a run to win. Two guys played well all week and Mikey (Michael Mattiace) played a nice round today. We need to get more out of the four and five guys if we are going to play up to our expectations." -- Head coach Scott Schroeder
