Head Coach Gregg Burke Said...
"Other than Bryson and Tony we did not play very well at all in the tournament.
 
"Today we lost 15 shots to Mount St. Mary's in the first six or seven holes and were eight back. Over the next five or six we got it to two, and we knew we had to dig in for the final seven holes. In that span, Bryson was 5-under, Tony was even and Josiah 2-over so we got some great play from them. But in the end we just failed to finish it off.
 
"We had said earlier that we lack the toughness that has been our hallmark, but we have time to correct that.
 
"For the two tournaments this week, Bryson was 6-under and Tony was 5-under. Bryson finished third in both and Tony finished fourth in the first and third in the second so we are very strong at the top. Josiah has proven to be a solid three for us and Geronimo showed just how good he can be as well.
 
"We have some time off before Cutter Creek, which is a much tougher golf course and much tougher field than this one. Both Seb Carlsson and Owen Rooney certainly have earned a chance to travel so we'll take a hard look at who we will bring.
 
"This was just one tournament of our six so we have plenty of time to define ourselves before the Atlantic 10 Championship."
