Coaches Corner
Coach Andy Crane had this to say about his team's performance, "Proud of our guys today. I challenged them to respond after our last tournament was pretty disappointing and they certainly responded. Event medalist Ruslan Makarenko's outing did not surprise Coach Crane at all. "What can we say about Ruslan? We knew he was a special player when we were recruiting him but the rookie season he has had so far is way beyond any expectations we had. I honestly feel he is the true Skyline Rookie of the Year with his body of work through the season, not just in one tournament."
 
Up Next
The Knights will attempt to build off this victory on Thursday as they participate in the Ursinus College Collegiate at Turtle Creek Golf Course in Limerick, PA.
