HEAD COACH SCOTT VANDEGRIFT QUOTES
• "Our top two players played very consistent with their scores. They both had trouble each day with certain aspects of their game. They were the first ones to come to me and say this is what I need to work on. We will be stronger in the spring. The conference is really tough this year. It is so nice to have a team that wants to get better; that is the reason I like to coach."
• "Our freshmen worked hard. They found what it is like to play in a major championship and under difficult conditions."

NOTES
• Yanoski led the squad with two birdies. Yanoski posted 83 and in all three rounds.
• Greene's back nine 5-over 41 was the team's low score in each nine.
• Vogel and Craig played her first three-day tournament as a collegiate golfer.
• Bennett posted her career-best PSAC Championship finish.
