M State Head Coach Jason Retzlaff Quote:

"Our men were the opposite of yesterday starting stronger but couldn't finish the round the way we wanted to. It was nice to improve from yesterday and the effort is great.  We haven't quite figured out the greens yet. Hopefully we can start putting better and the scores will follow. It was great to see Braxton Kerstein improve by 5 shots from yesterday and Leo gave us a nice round of 79."
