COACH KAYDEN'S TAKE
"We have a big challenge this weekend at UNCG with a highly-ranked field of teams," said head coach Kirk Kayden. "I'm confident our guys are up to the task at hand.

"We are coming off two straight 18-hole team rounds of solid play in Kennesaw, and we need to continue that into this weekend's tournament. It would be a huge confidence builder for our team to end the fall season on a high note."
