Key Quotes
"We put ourselves in a tough spot on day one," head coach Josh Brewer said. "We tried to battle and had ourselves in position and just unfortunately finished kinda the same way we started the tournament. It's sad to send these seniors off that way, but they had their chances. Unfortunately, we didn't shoot the right scores when we needed it."
