THEY SAID IT
Head coach Ben Hannan
On the tournament: "Unfortunately, this week did not turn out like we wanted or expected. We got along okay in difficult conditions most of the first round, but closed poorly and kind of played makeup the rest of the way. The guys battled, but couldn't get any momentum going.  Looking at the stats, we simply had to many forced errors to play the consistent golf needed to compete in a field like this. We'll get back to it this week as we start to put our focus on conference and getting ready for Mystic Creek."

Up next: The Jaguars will compete in the Sun Belt Conference Championship April 24-27 in El Dorado, Ark.
