THEY SAID IT
St. Edward's head coach Todd Ohlmeyer on the final tournament of the fall …
"Another decent finish this week. If there is one thing we learned this semester, it is the value of each shot. In three of the four events just a couple of shots would have gone a long way. We had the second lowest round of the day, in difficult conditions which is encouraging."

Ohlmeyer on Spear's performance …
"Andrew got off to a hot start with birdies on his first two holes en route to the lowest round on the course today."

Ohlmeyer on Lewis' collective fall performance …
"Dustin has had a great first semester. He is proving to be one of the best players in DII college golf."

WHAT'S NEXT
The Hilltoppers concluded their fall season Tuesday and won't compete again until February.
