Overall, head coach Nick Berger was pleased with the team's finish in the first tournament of the season:

"We battled and were right in the hunt at the first 9 holes. Unfortunately, we struggled near the end. A lot of positives to take away from the first tournament of the year. I'm still excited to see what the future holds for us as a team. I believe the best is still yet to come. Great job to Brady on being the low man for the final round. Also, great job to Ashton for making the All-Tournament Team."
