HEAD COACH JEFF LORIO
"It was a mixed bag today. We talked all week about playing with great focus and intensity but for some reason got off to a sluggish start. I was really proud with how the guys responded - we rallied and actually climbed up to third place, just three shots from the lead after 12 holes."
"Obviously we didn't finish the round well, and that is disappointing. I know the guys are itching to get back out there and take care of some unfinished business. I really think these guys are close to putting up a special round, hopefully that will be tomorrow!"
