THOUGHTS FROM HEAD COACH POLK BROWN: "It is a quick turnaround for us as we now head to Cincinnati for our second appearance at Xavier's event. Last year, we were at TPC River Bend and this year, the event moves back to the newly renovated Maketewah Country Club. It is a great field and we are excited for another opportunity at an amazing golf course."
