COACH'S COMMENTS

"Looking to build off the solid play we had at Legends," said Head Coach Mark McEntire. "This is another strong field on a fantastic golf course, so it'll be a great test for our guys. We've been trending in the right direction, and the focus this week is on continuing that momentum and staying consistent. Ultimately, it's all about continuing to prepare and position ourselves well heading into conference and postseason play."
