What They Are Saying
Wingate sophomore Mattia D'Errico
 
"Unfortunately, we didn't play our best golf this week as a team, but I'm happy about my result. Playing in the rain yesterday was quite tough, but I managed to shoot a good score. Today, I hit a couple of good shots into the green that helped me finish strong. We can't wait to go to Florida next week."
