THOUGHTS FROM COACH HUTTON
"This was a great week for both teams. To leave with three wins and a 3rd place finish is awesome. The men knew they had a chance to win if they played well today. The guys were really patient today and it paid off. The course played tough, but the guys did a really good job fighting out there. We have two really good groups of kids and this has been an awesome week with them."

The Cougars will return to the links after the new year for the CSUSM Fujikura Invitational on Feb. 13-14 at Shadowridge Golf Club in Vista.
