NOTES AND QUOTES
"Sometimes in golf, the golf course wins. That's exactly what happened this weekend.
With our team playing as well as they have been, I would have been disappointed at an eighth-place finish. But, in fact, they played extremely well especially during the final round and battled a golf course that brought the best players in the region to their knees. Proud of our players, we can't wait to represent Monmouth at our home event this weekend." – Head Coach
