COACH JIM BRACKEN SAID
"Obviously I'm happy with the way we played, especially with the wind blowing as hard as it did in the afternoon. The guys really grinded it out today and I just want them to have fun, not look behind them and put together a good final round tomorrow. Eirik, Nick and Paul-Louis all played great today. Nick especially did a great job, shooting even-par in the tough afternoon conditions."
CSUN will paired with Utah State, Cal State Fullerton and Utah Valley for the final which gets underway Tuesday morning with an 8 a.m. shotgun start.
