HEAD COACH JEFF LORIO
(on Ryan Fulton)
"Ryan had another solid week. I know he wishes things finished a little different on the back nine today. But to have the lead in two of his last three events with a few holes to play speaks volumes for just how much he has improved as a golfer. Like the other guys, he will learn from this experience and be ready for his next opportunity."
(on the team)
"Tough event this week. We fought hard today but just could not finish the last few holes as we would have liked. This must be a learning expert for the guys. I still believe we have five guys on this team that can challenge for a conference championship. We will shake some things up this week and work hard to prepare for a great test at the Bearkat Invitational."
