“We’re thrilled with the way we finished, moving up to third in the final round,” said Joe Jensen, UW Director of Golf and Head Men’s Golf Coach.  “It was a really good finish for us against a quality field, including a couple of the top teams in our conference in Nevada and Boise State.  We were able to finish ahead of Boise and competed well against Nevada.  
“I felt like our guys had good energy throughout the tournament, and I thought they did a good job of playing through the ups and downs.  Seeing that makes me feel good about the direction of our team.  I’m really proud of our guys performance.”
