"Our men played pretty solid the first round, but we didn't have it going in the afternoon battling the wind. I think fatigue set in a bit on both the physical and mental side. It was a grind today."

"I like that we didn't give up, I saw some guys struggle early in the second round and finish strong. We'll do better tomorrow, I'm sure of it." Coach Sean Ryan.
