Atlantic Head Coach Ed Den Beste: “Going into today, I was a little worried.  Had two not feeling well in the morning.  Garrett had a sore throat and watery eyes.  Cyle wasn’t feeling well also.  However, they were ready to golf.  Matt continues to play pretty consistent.  Had some wedge shots he would like back and doubled 9.  Cyle had a good front but had a tough hole 10.  Still continued to work and had a good score.  Braden continues his great play today.  Swung really well and great to see him at 3 over.  Tate started well.  Went to 18 and 1 with doubles and then had a tough hole 4.  I went to Drey and Tate with a few holes left and told them that they needed to keep battling.  Drey did and came in with our final score to help us shoot 314.  Garrett battled today.  He hit the ball well at times but then lost some focus at others.  Hope to get him feeling better for the next meet.  Great Team win today!!!  That is three conference championships in a row!!!”
