M State Head Coach Jason Retzlaff:
"We enjoyed a very nice trip to get our season started in Jamestown. It will be the deepest field we will see all year for both our men and women against competition comprised of primarily 4 year scholarship schools. We got off to a very slow start on day one as there were some nerves to get through with our first tourney of the season. We seemed to settle in late Sunday and played better on Monday. Hunter Burnside was an anchor for our men. After starting the tournament 6 over through 5 holes, he played the last 31 holes in 6 over. His putter was very impressive. "
"On the women's side, Audra Ewan had a very nice day second round to lead us. The course was difficult and long, and after a slow start she made some very nice adjustments. It was great to see her make par on 5 of her last 10 holes."
"Overall, it was a fun way to start the season and this experience will certainly help us improve."
