Quotable
"Wes, Stu and E played solid, but we didn't get that low score. It got windy in the afternoon making scoring harder. We didn't play bad, but we didn't play great either so we're in the middle of the field. It's out there [to score], we just have to go get it tomorrow."  – Coach Mark Guhne.

Gosselin has posted six straight par or better cards at Furman University Golf Club.
