"To finish in third place in this event is a very sold start for our spring season, kind of what we needed to get off to a positive start," coach

"Of course, we are disappointed in the final round, but considering we haven't hit a golf shot in West Virginia since 2024, I'd say this wasn't too bad, picking up wins over Clemson and Wake Forest. The guys will get ready for another strong test at the Florida Gator Invitational soon."
