QUOTABLE
"We played pretty well today," said head coach Austin King. "To see guys come right out and make a bunch of birdies right at the start was great to see and I was proud of how they competed all day long. Wish we could've closed the gap with UAB a little more, but it was another good week overall. Excited for the quick turnaround to Wisconsin to see what else they can do!"
