Quoting Coach Rachey
"Overall it was a good start to the spring season. It was great to see the team have back-to-back under par rounds to finish the tournament. Today was not as sharp as round two, but anytime you can shoot under par as a team it's a success. We're excited for two days of rest/practice in Phoenix before the start of the GCU Spring Invitational on Tuesday."
Next Up
The Tommies remain on the road and head to Phoenix, Arizona for the Grand Canyon Spring Invitational on March 12-13 at the Grand Canyon University Golf Course.
