That 306 was probably our highest round of the year but we did battle back to shoot our best round of the week today at 4 over 292," said Head Coach John Hackney. "Fred had an excellent week finishing in the top 25 finish Johnny was very solid and led the field in pars, and it was good to see Coleman and Caleb put up some good rounds this afternoon."

"Now it's time to fine tune for the conference championship in a couple of weeks where we're gonna need to win to advance to the NCAA tournament, but I believe we are very capable of doing that," said Hackney.
