COACH'S QUOTE
"Solely looking at where we finished, that's not what we wanted for this week," reflected head coach Gip Hoagland after Tuesday's final round. "Looking back, there were a lot of really good things to take away from this event. We had some good performances individually and a lot to build from. The good thing about playing courses like Erin Hills is that it really exposes things we need to work on and that's the only way you get better. It's time to get ready for next week. Marshall will be another good test and I know the guys will be ready."

UP NEXT
Dayton will return to action next week at Marhsall's annual Joe Feaganes Invitational Sept. 11-12. The 54-hole event will be played at Guyan Golf and Country Club in Huntington, West Virginia. Please CLICK HERE for more schedule information.
