From the Coaches’ Eye – Hovland’s Analysis…
“This was a big week for the Terps,” said head coach Kelly Hovland. “Not only did we earn our second runner-up finish in three events and beat all the Big Ten schools (in the field), we leave Muirfield Village Golf Club with a belief in our ability to adapt to any situation. This is the hardest golf course I have ever coached on, and I am really proud of how hard we competed until the last hole.”
