COACH'S CORNER
"This was a huge win for our program to show that we can compete with teams from CAA, BIG EAST, Patriot and Ivy leagues, ASUN, Big South and SOCON. The team showed that they can come back from being down by six strokes and win, showing resilience and grit under pressure. Aside from our conference championships, this was the biggest win in 13 years. Our second day score of 302 was the lowest score of all teams by four strokes." - John O'Connor
