Director of golf for Centre, Brian Chafin said, "I am extremely pleased that both team were able to battle the high winds to play well and win the tournaments. Both teams beat some very good teams and players to come out on top. On the men's side this was done without Co-Captain Chris Conkright who was at a family obligation and the women did not have two top players Emily Bachert (stress fracture) and Paige Burton (studying off campus) which makes this even more gratifying."
