Prenzlow's Perspective
"It was not the Bears best day today, but everyone competed to the end and we actually did some good things today as well as this entire event. We beat two top 50 ranked schools, and all the guys played a good round or two. In a field like this, a poor round is hard to overcome. Our opening round really hurt us and we could not overcome being that far behind. We thank senior Andrew Romano for his four years and congratulate him on having credentials to be an All-American Scholar. With the players, we have coming back along with our three additions the Bears will back in postseason play soon!"
