Quotable from Coach Carter Collins
I'm very proud of the way the team showed some resiliency today. We didn't get off to the best start; I think we showed some nerves playing in front of our home crowd in a tournament we have been looking forward to since last year. We got through the hard stretch pretty well and then finished extremely well to put ourselves in good position going into the weekend. Playing the last three holes at 5-under will be a great momentum boost heading into tomorrow. Now we have to do our job to capitalize on this momentum and put on a show this weekend. Go Eagles!"
Next up
The second of three rounds of the event is slated for tomorrow. The Eagles are paired with Kentucky and Notre Dame once again and tee off the first hole at 9:45 a.m.
