NOTES

The Blue Raiders have won three team titles in a season for the first time since the 2010-11 season and are chasing their fourth in a single season for the first time since 2007-08
Graduate student Connor McKay narrowly missed his first collegiate win last weekend and has started the spring with three Top 5 finishes and a 68.7 stroke average thru nine rounds
MT was set to compete in the Schenkel Invitational for the second year in a row last season before all teams were pulled off the course during the practice round as the COVID-19 pandemic began to take its toll on the sports world

QUOTES
"I look forward to seeing how the team responds from an off performance last week. We fell in the rankings and need a good week to stay in the running for an at-large bid to NCAA Regionals. We'll need all five guys playing well but I think there is a good chance we will see that happen this week." - Head Coach Mark McEntire
