HEAD COACH JEFF LORIO
"Not the performance we wanted this week. It's a tough way to finish the fall. We've proven at points all semester that we can be a pretty good team, but we've also proven that we have a lot of work to do. We have to become more consistent throughout the lineup if we want to compete in the Spring."
"Nothing is more frustrating than making as many birdies as we have and then giving them away by not taking care of the golf ball and making big numbers. We have a lot of work ahead of us but I know the guys what to be better and will be everything they into just that until we start again in the Spring."
(on the Fall overall)
"Overall it was just an okay Fall. Even though we are well about .500 we really haven't played well for an entire event. We have played really well at times and played really poorly at others. I think this fall shows up much potential we have as a group – but make no mistake we are not close to being a competitive team yet. We have to work hard in the offseason and come out with a more balanced lineup in the Spring."
