COACH'S COMMENT: "It was a struggle for team Calvin today," head coach
Jerry Bergsma said. "The course wasn't giving up many birdies today to the field and we made too many mistakes and questionable decisions to manage our scores. Even though we wrapped up the fall portion of the schedule with a rough team round we have to keep building on our positives and look closely at the spots where we can improve in the off season before our spring schedule picks back up in March. There's a lot of potential in this group but we need to show a hunger to put in the work to keep improving. See you in the spring!"
