M State Head Coach Jason Retzlaff Quotes:
"We didn't play quite as well today but it wasn't for a lack of effort or focus. The guys fought back after a rough start to the round and couldn't quite finish the round off as strong as we would have hoped. But a goal coming into the week was to get a top five finish and we are in a nice position to do that. We need to make sure we are committed to our shots and hit it or miss it in the correct spots to counter the very difficult putting surfaces. I was extremely happy for Riley Stromlund today. After a tough first round, he bounced back and leading us today with a 78."
