Head Coach Chris Kraftick commented, "Top 5 this week against mostly D1 teams is a solid performance. We really struggled to finish both rounds 2 and 3 which cost us some important shots. Ally and Hugo continued their good play. They have combined for 7 under par rounds in two events."

The Patriots will be back in action on September 17^th and 18^th as they take part in the Mid-South Conference Fall Tournament at the Campbellsville Country Club in Campbellsville, KY.
