What They Are Saying
Wingate junior student-athlete Will Hunsucker
 
"I am thankful to make the trip down to Florida this week and to have the chance to play. I was able to play pretty steady over the tournament's two days. The team got off to a bit of a rough start the first day, but we were able to finish strong on the second day and put ourselves ahead of some teams."
