QUOTES
Head Coach Jamie Bermel
 
Q: What did you see Harry Hillier do well today, which led to his 8-under par performance?
 A: Harry was impressive today. When he gets in the right frame of mind and gets a little momentum he can go low. Less wind today, but the course was still playing difficult.
 
Q: As a team overall, what do your guys need to improve on in order to have a couple stroke in order to compete for first place tomorrow?
 A: We need some production out of the other guys. We keep making unforced errors and turn solid rounds into bad rounds. We need all the guys playing well on Sunday if we have a chance to move up the leader board.
