What Justin Emil Had to Say
"The conditions were the most difficult today. The guys held it together to play our best round of the tournament. We came away with a lot of positives, but we still had some mistakes that cost us a better finish. But, it was a good experience for the team."
Next Up
The Owls will take two weeks off before traveling to Lake Charles, La., for the Lake Charles Invitational on Mar. 18-19.
