COACH KAYDEN'S THOUGHTS
"I'm proud of the guys' effort today after struggling yesterday. We really rebounded well and had the second-lowest score of the day. I was proud of their effort. They really made a nice comeback. It was good to see the potential of what we are capable of doing this year."

"Their determination was very good today. We made a lot of good decisions on the golf course and eliminated a lot of the high numbers today as well. We played the par 5s a lot better today than we did the day before. Overall, we were just much improved from yesterday.

On wrapping up the fall season:
I'm proud of the guys for making a lot of improvements this fall. We had some good finishes. Now I am looking forward to the spring and showing everybody what we are capable of."
