NOTES AND QUOTES


"We did not play well the first day and our weaknesses were exposed on a difficult golf course. The second day we played much better, similar to how we have been playing recently. Colin bounced back with an excellent round of 71, and Ron and Erik continue to play consistently good golf. I am glad the players have a couple of days off, they need a break. We have been playing very well recently, and I am really looking forward to Saucon Valley and the Lehigh invitational this weekend."- Head Coach Bill Britton
