HEAD COACH JEFF LORIO
"I'm a little disappointed with the effort today. We had an opportunity for a good round and a great showing against a good field and just could not get it done. We got off to a pretty good start but had way too many mental lapses in the middle of the round. Having said that it is good to see us still undefeated against Southland schools. The guys must use today as a learning experience and get better from it."
