LUBAHN'S THOUGHTS
"It feels like it's been a while since we've played in a tournament so it will be good for us to get back out on the course as we get ready to wrap up the regular season and gear up for the postseason. The guys have been working hard over the last month and we're looking forward to competing in a tournament that has great tradition and brings together some very competitive teams."
