"We had a lot of good moments and stretches in this event but the finish at the end was disappointing," said head coach Austin King. "I was proud to see us contend at times in a good field like that, we just to have to go get better now. We're still making strides. I'm looking forward to having a week to get ready for Furman so we can finish off the fall strong."
