Quotables from Coach Carter Collins
"Amazing week of grind for the team and program to cap off one of the best seasons in program history. I'm extremely proud of what they have accomplished and can't wait to support Mason tomorrow as he earned a spot to play on Monday for an Individual National Championship!"
"This course was extremely tough, as was the course set up. Add the desert wind to our final two afternoon rounds, and it was one of the toughest grinds I've been a part of as a coach."
"Although we didn't meet all of our goals for the week, being one of the final 30 teams in the country is an accomplishment that we hope Eagle Nation is proud of. Two trips to NCAA Nationals in the previous three, and the best is yet to come! Hail Southern!!"
