"We had some good individual performances. Alex had another great tournament. Benton stepped up with a big round today. Overall, we didn't execute well enough to contend this week. The front nine played easier and we dropped too many shots there. We are looking forward to practicing and playing outside for the next month and improving in those areas." -- Coach Smith
