HEAD COACH JEFF LORIO
(on Mason Roberts)
"I'm very pumped up for Mason. This was the best individual performance we have had all year and he did it against a really strong field. This should give him confidence and set him up nicely going forward."
(on the team)
"This is a very difficult event but there aren't many positives to take away. Pinetree played difficult - we just never could get any momentum and it snowballed in the wrong direction. We continued to hit the tee ball out of position and did not chip the ball well at all. It was a very frustrating performance."
