Quotables from Coach Carter Collins
"Awesome last-group experience for this team today. We didn't handle the start of the round very well today but fought back hard and showed a lot of toughness on the back 9. They played well all week in a great and tough field, and this was a great way to cap off a very good fall and build positive momentum heading into the spring season."

Next Up
The Eagles open the spring by hosting the Thomas Sharkey Individual Collegiate Feb. 5-6 at Georgia Southern University Golf Course.
