QUOTES
Head Coach Jamie Bermel
Q: What did you think about the overall team performance?
A: “I thought we played really well the second nine of the first round. Made some birdies coming in that really helped. Unfortunately, we played pretty sloppy the 2nd round and really shot ourselves in the foot. Struggled to get two other good scores the 2nd round.”
Q: What worked for the Hillier brothers?
A: “Hilliers played solid all day. Charlie has played well here in the past and played like a senior today. We need all 5 guys playing well on Sunday if we have any chance to move up the leaderboard.”
