COACH'S COMMENTS
"The first thing I can take away from this week is that, as a team, we scored better each round," reflected head coach Gip Hoagland. "Something we will continue to work on is eliminating big numbers. They are always something we try to avoid and on courses like this they hurt even more.

"I was really happy with how Hayden played today. He really stepped up and played really well," Hoagland continued. "Connor had another solid tournament as well and I'm happy with his overall game as well."

UP NEXT
Dayton will return to action March 29-30 for the Seahawk Intercollegiate hosted by UNCW. The Flyers will travel to Wilmington, North Carolina, for the two-day event held at Country Club of Landfall.
