"We had good results for both days," said head coach Matt Robinson. "Trying to chase down Indian Hills was a big hill to climb for us. They have a very veteran team this year with 6 Sophomores that have played in this event before. So they knew what to expect and how to attack the course. Our Day 2 results were a positive, given that all 5 players scores ranged from 76-83. That is always great to see"

The National Championship will take place May 11th thru May 14th in Coal Valley, IL
