Q U O T E S
Head Coach Andrew Sapp
On the Wolverines' first day at the Ridges ... "Today was a good learning experience. We played well this morning, but we just didn't finish well. We gave away about five strokes on our last hole this morning, otherwise we would have been right in the thick of it. It's just a matter of learning how to play a little bit better when you need to. We made a few too many unforced errors, a couple of double bogies here and there, and that hurts the entire team. We're not that far off some of the best teams in the country as far as talent goes; we just need to start believing in ourselves more. We're looking forward to playing well tomorrow and finishing this tournament on a good note."
