COACH'S QUOTE
"I couldn't be any happier for this team. They played hard all week, fought through adversity and gave a good run at it. This team is special and I'm proud to have gone through this crazy year with them. Henry was just amazing. He had a great weekend and just never let up. His finish on the last four holes was so good. He just kept hitting great shot after great shot. It is going to be so exciting to go to the NCAA Regional with him.
