COACH'S COMMENT: "We were able to play two teams in this tournament, which helps us with team assessment and development," Calvin head coach Brian Bolt said. "We had a number of guys turn in good performances, including four players in the top 10. Junior Ethan Tiller really stepped up with a two-day score of even par, which won the tournament. A great accomplishment at this golf course. We are continuing the trend in the right direction to contend for a championship later this spring."
