Head Coach Nate Swann Quoted after the event, "Really proud of the guys 1-5 for having a great event against another solid tournament field. The preparation going into the event is what stuck out to me. All five battled through some adversity throughout the day but seeing the excitement from the guys on the bus ride home was fun".
