?The good news is that we?ve got all season to get better and we will,? said head coach Brian Craig. ?The bad news is that, right now, I would say we are a very poor college golf team and that?s really disappointing coming off the summer, but we will get better. Congratulations to Andy Winings for a very very solid performance.?
The Wildcats return to action Sept. 22-23 when they travel to Zionsville, Ind., for the Wolf Run Intercollegiate.
