COACH DIJON KNIGHT'S COMMENTS
The Country Club of Terre Haute presented a formidable test for all teams and demanded precision and strategic play. Our players battled fiercely for three days. By our standards as a team we fell short of our primary goal of performing at our best and competing at a high level consistently for all three rounds. There are a lot of positive takeaways, but we recognize areas for improvement. We'll focus on refining our short game, fine-tuning our approach shots, and capitalizing on birdie opportunities. Overall, I'm proud of our team's effort not just this weekend, but all year. They represented Anderson University with integrity and sportsmanship everywhere we went. Congratulations to all our players, and let's continue striving for excellence!
