LUBAHN'S THOUGHTS
"I thought we were good last weekend in a lot of spots, we just need to button it up at the top of the lineup. This is this weekend will be the first time we're counting every shot, so that's kind of a shock to your system when you haven't played in a while. I think this is the start of the four most important events of the year.

"The team took the Big Ten Match Play pretty hard and they look highly motivated for Sunday."
