Head Coach Mic Potter
"This was a very strong field. Possibly the strongest regular season field we will see all Spring. It was a good chance to see where we stood going into the Spring, and it obviously that we need a lot of work, and it needs to happen at a rapid rate. We showed some signs of being competitive today but we have to learn to keep our focus, stay present and finish off our rounds when we get well under par!"
