Quotables from Coach Carter Collins
On the trip
"We always try to emphasize the student-athlete experience while they are here at Georgia Southern and going on trips like this will enhance that experience and give them another memory when they look back on their career."

"The guys have been working really hard. We've made a ton of progress throughout the fall and especially the last couple weeks, and we're looking forward to trying to end the fall on a high note."

On the course
"You not only have flat holes right on the beach, you have extremely-elevated holes that go up and down in the mountains. We don't have anything like that on the East Coast, but we've played both types of courses. It's just a little different having to adjust hole by hole. It's a fairly open course, but it has some length to it."

On the field
"The field is big and really strong. It has a lot of West Coast teams that we don't normally see throughout the year until a regional or national field so this will be a nice measuring stick against some of those teams."
