COACH JEFF LORIO
"Today wasn't by any means what we wanted or expected. We were able to fight through some adversity in the morning round. We were in a position to really move up the leader board in the afternoon, but obviously, that did not happen. It was very a disappointing afternoon and we didn't put up much of a fight. I can promise you the guys will return tomorrow morning with something to prove."
