Here were Head Coach Daniel Cordray's comments about the event. "We struggled a bit with the length of the course, weather, and some nerves it seemed. Throughout the year we definitely learned things individually that we need to work on for this upcoming year to get to where we need to be to compete for a region title. As a team we have to get to where we can consistently be at 370 or better to really be competitive. We have some freshmen coming in that I look to be directly in the mix of challenging our returners."
