QUOTE
HEAD COACH RANDY MORRIS ON THE TEAM'S PERFORMANCE
"I wish I had a lot of good things to say, but we struggled and never had all five playing to their potential. I'm not so disappointed in the second round as conditions and such made it difficult, but we should have posted a score in the third round like our first round. It was lift, clean and place, and yet we hit it in all the wrong spots. It's an eye-opener as we get ready for the next one."
