Head Coach Gregg Burke Said...
  • Aside from Brandon, we did not have a good day at all. Clearly the cold and wind affected the entire field, but we are tougher than that.
  • I was really proud of Aidan, who settled down after a bad double. He is so close to being really good.
  • We are in the same position we have been in most tournaments this fall - the only team that can prevent us from winning is us. 
  • Tomorrow will help define who we are this season.
What's Next
The Rams return to GreatHorse for round two of the UConn Invitational on Monday morning.
