HEAD COACH JEFF LORIO
"I'm proud of the effort today in very tough conditions. This event will set the stage for the spring. We found out a lot about ourselves this week. The back end of the lineup has proven they are capable of putting up really solid rounds. When we get healthy, I really like our squad and our chances come next semester."
