"We posted a very nice team score in round two of the three round tournament," said SFCC Head Golf Coach Wayne Ogle. "We had multiple nice individual rounds from some of our student-athletes. Throughout the year, we continue to improve and minimize our mistakes but, at the end of the day we had too many big numbers to really be competitive. I am really looking forward to what next year will bring for our program."
