“I was proud of the effort by our guys,” Georgia coach Chris Haack said. “I thought we hung in there and fought until the very end. We had three guys in the top 11, and that usually means you are in the hunt.”
The Bulldogs’ next tournament will be the United States Collegiate Championship March 24-26 in Alpharetta.
