COACH'S CORNER:
- "The Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational at the US Air Force Academy included a number of colleges from Texas, California and the western part of our country. The tournament was a big step up in competition for the team," said director of golf Steve Napoli. "Though we did not play to our ability, it was great to get our fall season underway and the team is looking forward to the UCONN Invitational next week at GreatHorse."
UP NEXT:
- The Crusaders return to action from Sept. 29 through Oct. 1 for the UConn Invitational in Hampden, Mass. at Greathorse Country Club.
