HEAD COACH JEFF LORIO
"Another tough day today. The guys fought hard but just didn't make enough quality shots or nearly enough putts over the last two days. This was not the type of performance we expected. We have a few days to work hard and get ready to wrap up our fall season at the Pinetree Intercollegiate next week. The guys will have something to prove next week and I expect better results."
