A disappointing couple of days for the Flashes but even had they matched the first day performance the last two days, it wouldn't have been enough. The freshmen really struggled in their first NCAA regional. It would have taken 6-under to get in a tie for the last spot.

Ian Holt was the top MAC golfer this week, finishing tied for 5th at 3-under, but he didn't get enough help. With two freshmen, two sophomores and a junior, they should get back next year.
