Head Coach JC Deacon's Take
On the team's second-round performance…
"Today was not the day we were looking for. We came into this event trying to focus on controlling our process with regard to our attitude, routines and body language. Today showed us that we have a long way to go if we want to be a championship team."
On John Axelsen's performance…
"John Axelsen continues to show that he's ready to step up and establish himself as one of the best players in the country this year. We have one day left to go, and we'll be ready to end the fall with a big round."
