Head Coach Gregg Burke Said…

This was a program win. The guys fell three behind but never gave up. To have five guys combine to go one under over the final three holes when the team ahead of us went two over was the difference.
I was thrilled for Caleb Manuel of UConn. We have special relationships with a lot of the UConn kids. We recruited Caleb, Tommy and Logan. Just great families. And I have always been a Jared Nelson fan.
We have a lot of tinkering to do with big leads but this was a solid win for us.

What's Next
The Rams close out the fall season this coming weekend at the Georgetown Intercollegiate (Oct. 10-11).
