QUOTING COACH FORBES
"This isn't the way we were hoping to finish today. It was a tough field and a tough layout, but we left a lot of shots out there that we'd like to have back. We know we have plenty to work on when we get back this week."

UP NEXT
The Dukes will be back in action next week, traveling to Berkeley Hills Country Club in Duluth, Ga. to take part in the AutoTrader Collegiate Classic, hosted by Georgia State on Oct. 15-16. GolfStat.com will provide live results of the event.
