Quotes:
Coach Darin Pint: "The guys played really hard. We played a really good golf course in Blue Top Ridge, and it was a strong field. We certainly had our chances to win, but you got to give DMACC credit. They made some birdies down the stretch and we didn't. We will learn from this and get better."
