Complete Results

Coach's Quote
"I thought as a team we played well, but it did not reflect in the score. Saturday the wind was a factor and today with wind gusts upwards of 40 mph coupled with hard and fast greens, it would have made for very tough playing conditions. Really pleased overall with how the fall went but there are things that we can work on until we kickoff the spring season in February."
– ECU Head Coach Kevin Williams
