COACHES COMMENTS: "We had some good moments today —especially getting out to a strong start and being on top of the leaderboard for the first part of the round," said head coach Jerry Bergsma. "Too many bad decisions kept us from reaching our potential today. We'll need to sharpen up some things and play with confidence and purpose tomorrow to move up the standings." 
 
UP NEXT: The Knights will be back in action tomorrow when they close out their season at day two of the MIAA Spring Finale. Calvin is set to tee off at 9 AM at the Legacy by Arthur Hills Golf Club.
