CLUBHOUSE CHATTER
"Not the finish we were looking for. We were in position with a few holes left and just didn't get the job done. Very disappointing end to a solid year. Every year we are close to making it or not to Nationals and this year we were on the wrong side. Tip of the cap to UAB for shooting the low round today. It's a sad way for our seniors to end their careers but we definitely want to thank them for everything. For Mikey (Mattiace), it has been a great five years and we wish him luck in the next chapter of his life."
- Head Coach Scott Schroeder
