"We played pretty solid at this tournament," said UW head golf coach Joe Jensen. "We had a frustrating finish because we were one-under par as a team with only a few holes to go. However, overall I am pleased with the way we finished out the fall season. A lot of the teams we beat today have taken some top places at tournaments this fall, so that is very encouraging. We still need to play more consistently, and that is what we will work on for the spring."
