Briar Cliff head coach Ben Irlbeck
"We really had a great comeback today. This course can really be a beast. I think where we struggled yesterday, we flourished today. This was a great showing for Thavichakree (Arunmala), putting his name on the conference overall standings with this top five finish. We lost Oliver (Kardos) to an injury on day one. I'm very proud of how the guys overcame that and continued to battle back on the leaderboard."
