HEAD COACH WILL BREWER
"I'm proud of the men in this event! Ford, Jason and Gregor were very solid this week. I believe the team was engaged, but I may have driven them too far with four events in a row. We just didn't make enough putts to pull away from the field and Chattanooga went on a heater today. We finished strong and closed the gap to tie NC State. I am proud of the Fall results! This team is focused and met some of our yearly goals already this fall. We have a lot to build on and we are looking forward to a strong spring!"
