HEAD COACH SCOTT VANDEGRIFT QUOTES
• "Our team did not perform the way we wanted. We had a couple of good rounds. Brady Erb had 74 in the first day, who was low for the team. We were far short of what we needed to do."
• "Both teams are improving with two seniors leaving our squad by the end of the spring. We will have three returners next year."
• "The men were disappointed and understandingly what was on the line but was not due to lack of effort. They worked very hard for the last few days."
• "For Brady, he shot a 74 because of the enormous of hard work he put in recently. It really shows up. He was in a good position to go in day two. You keep on putting yourself in that position, you will keep on improving."
NOTES
• Erb was a stroke shy of tying his season-low of 73 at the Hal Hansen Invitational.
• The Marauders posted their fifth top-five finish of the year.
UP NEXT
• The Marauders look to their final regular season tournament at the IUP before Millersville finds out its postseason fate.
