"The tournament was great," Newton stated. "The course was in great shape and the greens were good. I thought the team did very well, considering we are going through some adversity. The freshmen did a great job this week by playing well in their first collegiate tournament. I was proud of the team's confidence going into this tournament. We knew before the first day that we were going to be in contention going into the last day. We didn't have the last day that we wanted, but if we can keep putting ourselves in position to win, we will be a dangerous team."
