HEAD COACH KENNY TRAPP ON THE WIN 
"I am incredibly proud of this group. We got off to a horrible start yesterday and were 18 or so down at one point, so I really challenge them to play Patriot golf. We have gone 0-4 this year in tournaments that were tied going into the back 9, so this will definitely help us going forward the rest of the year."
