Coach Kayden's Take
"After our day off in the hotel Monday, we just didn't perform as well as we expected. We've got a few guys who just aren't really playing at the level that they want for themselves, or that we want for them. We did have a couple of good rounds from Martin (Plukka) and Lino (Galdin), so I'm proud of those guys.

We've got a quick turnaround, now, as we start at Georgia State Sunday morning. I'm confident that we'll play with confidence because we know the course fairly well. I think it's a good opportunity for us to turn things around."

The Bears head to Atlanta this weekend to participate in the AutoTrader Collegiate Classic Sunday through Tuesday at the Berkeley Hills Country Club.
