"Tough conditions again for round two with the rain," IU Southeast head coach
Matt Graston said. "We struggled a little on the greens and had a few big number holes which didn't help our cause to try and hold the lead. We let it slip away, but we're making strides each day to get to the level we expect to reach. It's a process and each outing gets us closer to our goal. We'll work on some things in the offseason and get a game plan to hopefully start strong out of the gate in the spring."
"Great tournament for Westin. Congratulations to him for earning low medalist. It was a three-way playoff that went 12 holes for him to get the individual victory."
IU Southeast will return to action in the spring.
