FROM THE LOCKEROOM
"I thought we battled really hard today. It was tough out there. Our game has been progressing over the last couple of months, and we know there are still plenty of shots to save out there. It's incredible to see the win come from a freshman, especially considering the size and strength of the field. He was rock solid every step of the way and proved his closing ability in the playoff. I think this will be the first of many for him." - BGSU Men's Golf Head Coach John Powers.

UP NEXT
Up next, the Falcons take a small break before heading to South Pittsburg, Tennessee, for the Sweetens Cove Intercollegiate hosted by Miami of Ohio University. The tournament tees off on Monday, March 23, and concludes on Wednesday, March 25.
