M State Head Coach Jason Retzlaff Quote:
"It was great to see our men play a very solid round as we are improving each day. Our putting was and course management was better today. Leo was excellent today us with a 77. He has been incredibly steady with only one penalty shot in three days. I was really proud of Mikey finishing with an 80 after being +5 through 4 holes. We think the best is yet to come with one more round left tomorrow."
