Coach Nick Dilio's Quotes:

"It's always nice to win, especially with it being our last event of the fall. Hopefully, we can take this momentum in the winter, work hard, and be ready to go in the spring. It was a great team effort; the course played a lot tougher than it did yesterday," Dilio said.
"With the pin locations and how windy it was, it made it very hard to hit it close. An awesome round for David Powers in this wind. I think he was a little disappointed with his finish to the round but overall a great way to end his fall season with a runner-up finish."
