LUBAHN'S THOUGHTS
"This is a new trip for us but one we are very excited for because we don't play in this area of the country that often. We've still got some work to do and I think the guys are ready for the challenges ahead of us in the next couple of events. On top of that, the Big Ten Championships are out here in a few weeks and this is a great opportunity to get a feel for the type of course we will see."
