Its disappointing when you put yourself in a position to win the conference tournament and you cant carry it out, head coach Harland Kilborn said. We had our chances, we just couldnt put it all together.
This tournament concluded the Redbirds golf season. Team season highlights include first place finishes at the D.A. Weibring Tournament and the Jim Colbert Intercollegiate and now a third place finish at the MVC Championship.
