Coach Powers Quote
"We played well today, it's something we've been able to do consistently in the final round this year. Trey had a great week... to make it 54 holes at Colleton without any double bogeys is very impressive. Pablo also had a solid week to start the stretch run. Overall we have a little work to do on the greens, but we will have a lot of confidence heading into the Boarder Olympics event."

Up Next:
The Falcons will travel to Laredo, Texas and compete in the Border Olympics hosted by the University of Houston on March 11-12.
