HEAD COACH JEFF LORIO
"Pretty good week for Pepe. To lead the team as a freshman in your first collegiate start is impressive. I know he expected more out of himself this week and that is a testament to the type of person and player he is. I expect big things from him."
"We continued to struggle on the greens today. It was a very frustrating couple of days. We thought we were ready compete in the first tournament of the year, but just could not figure out how to get the ball in the hole. Will we definitely use this as a learning experience for the freshmen in the lineup, as motivation to get better this week."
