"I am extremely proud of these kids for the season and work ethic we had throughout. To lose by one shot aftertaking 1st in 5out of 7 events can be heartbreaking and it was to all of us, but we will learn from this and become an even stronger team to contend with. With our success this year many outside coaches and programs have taken notice and that means a lot for rankings in the NAIA. We have greatly improved not only by the records we shot this year, but we averagedunder 300 for probably the first time in school history and we were 5 shots better than last year's avg. We will have a hard road to get an at large bid to Nationals, but we will be ready to go in the spring and give it our best shot!" states Head Coach Eric Campbell.
