HEAD COACH JIM BRACKEN SAID
"Tavin has had back-to-back tournaments where he's played very well. Liam is rounding back into form, and Dom has been pretty consistent as well. We have two tough tournaments coming up before the Big West Championship, so we'll hopefully keep improving and getting good play from all five guys."
UP NEXT
CSUN will be back in action on Mar. 31 as the Matadors travel to Maricopa, Ariz., for the first of three rounds of the Wyoming Cowboy Classic at Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club.
