COACH JAMISON'S TAKE
"I'm proud of the way our boys competed in the fall season. I feel like all the guys learned a lot and they will have a very productive offseason.

The last few days we battled very well. There are plenty of things to improve on, but we handled the adversity. We beat some very strong teams and proved that we have the capacity to play great golf."

UP NEXT FOR THE OWLS
The Owls will take the course again for the spring season on February 18 and 19 at the A-10 Match Play Championship hosted by George Washington in Weston, Florida.
