COACH'S QUOTE
"First of all, we are all so happy for Ben," reflected head coach
Gip Hoagland following Thursday's final round. "For a senior to work this hard day in and day out and to be rewarded on this stage is amazing. This is such an exciting time for him and we can't wait to see where he gets to go for Regionals. As for the team, they came together over these last couple of weeks. I asked them to put distractions aside and lock in. They did that. Going into the final round, we had a chance but came up a little short. I'm proud of the fight they showed. They didn't give up. Third place in this conference is a solid accomplishment.
"Congratulations to Davidson and coach Straub. I know they will represent the A-10 very well!"
