“Obviously it's not the week we had planned out coming into it. But I was proud of the guys’ effort. Being pretty far back going into today, we put together the second lowest round of the day by a good amount. So, they gave it all they had today and fought to the end, even if there really wasn't a whole lot for us to play for, and that just kind of speaks to the character of these guys. How much pride they have for our program and the 'Power C'.” – Coach Blaine Woodruff on the week
