Straight From The Source - Army Head Coach Chad Bagley
"There were a lot of great things from the weekend, but we're disappointed in how we finished off today's round. We had a chance to really move up the leaderboard, but we didn't play the final 3-4 holes very well. That is something we can work on in qualifying over the next week in preparation for UTEP's tournament.

"We would like to congratulate the Northwestern golf team on their co-medalist performance with Penn State and thank them for hosting such a first-class event along with Evanston Golf Club."
