"Today was a good day," said head coach Austin King. "I was really proud of how the group competed all day, especially on the last few holes after it got away from them for a few there on 14 and 15. The job is not finished, but tomorrow is going to be a really exciting day to make match play and I'm pumped for the guys to go do it tomorrow!"
