Quotables from Coach Carter Collins
"The team fought their tails off this week. They worked hard to get comfortable on a new, tough course and played with great effort throughout the event."
 
"I didn't do a good enough job preparing these guys for this event. I expect our student-athletes to learn and improve from difficult situations, and I hold myself to the same standard so I'll work harder to have the team best prepared for our next event in Gastonia, N.C."
