Quotable from Coach Carter Collins
"This week was a very solid week of progress for our team. Even though each of them have been working hard during the break, it is still important to knock off competitive rust, and this week was big for that."

"It was a great performance by Jake. He played very well all week and especially in the final round, where he shot the low round (67) to jump up to second place. Avery played very well and earned some valuable 'last group' experience, and Ben played incredibly consistent all week."

"Thank you to Marten, James, Patrick and the entire GS Golf Course staff, who did a fantastic job with the tournament this week. We are very lucky to have the True Blue support of the course and staff! Also thank you to Eagle Nation on coming out to watch us. We appreciate you!"

"We are excited to continue our hard work and hit the ground running in a couple of weeks in Gainesville, Fla., for the Gator Invitational. GATA!"
